Iktus Percussion: The Interactive Ideal | Ear Heart Music
Iktus Percussion, with guest artists Denise Filion and Julia Den Boer, explore the interaction of both electronic, acoustic, and instrumental theater of the Darmstadt era via a constellation of works for piano, percussion, and electronics. In his 1960 Kontakte, Karlheinz Stockhausen takes the analog electronic world as his primary palette, spreading colors on an acoustic canvas of piano and percussion sound. Luigi Nono’s 1976 Sofferte Onde Serene for piano and electronics turns inward, focusing less on exploration of sound and more on cultivation of dialogue. Nono involves us in an intimate, and at times beguiling, conversation between piano and the pre-recorded improvisations of Maurizio Pollini. Finally, Mauricio Kagel challenges conventional western musical tradition in his 1977 work, Dressur. Scored for over 50 wooden instruments and non-instruments, Kagel combines the visual and auditory to draw his audience into a whirlwind of absurdist and unorthodox musical theater. This piece may (or may not) contain partial nudity.
