‘Xerrox Selected with Alva Noto, s t a r g a z e and André de Ridder’

Carsten Nicolai aka Alva Noto, one of the best-known representatives of the electronic music scene since the 1990s, composed the fourth part of his Xerox series in 2020. Now the pan-European orchestral collective s t a r g a z e, conducted by André de Ridder, together with Alva Noto as soloist, brings an instrumental version of the series arranged specifically for the ensemble. A multimedia work that combines music with video and light installations, the Xerox project deals with the manipulation of data (melodies) through endless reproduction. A process of making copies from copies, the sounds of which are changed in such a way that they can hardly be associated with the original material. This creates a sound spectrum of completely new sounds. The idea of an edited version of the entire series with an instrumental cast has existed since the release of the first volume.

!!!  After the concert there will be an aftershow by Pieter Dudal.  He is a sound artist from Ghent who works under his own name Dudal. Beside his own artistic work, he also founded and curates labels Dauw and blickwinkel.  The Bar will remain open.
