Description
This evening concert curated by André de Ridder is both a tribute and the revival and future vision of a form that has almost died out: the “Musikpalast” consists of a compered interaction between a series of different artists and bands. These play each other their music in swift succession, rather like being in a large rehearsal room or studio that is open to the public. The audience gathers around these islands, becoming part of a “band camp” that may feel quite familiar to visitors to the now legendary PEOPLE festival held at Funkhaus Nalepastraße. In a Berlin premiere the former Battles frontman Tyondai Braxton presents his new solo album, while Greg Saunier, drummer and composer with the band Deerhoof, has written a remake of the Fugazi album “In On The Killtaker” for the members of the contemporary classical collective stargaze as a commission for the Brighton Festival. Anna Calvi, Anja Plaschg (Soap&Skin) and Arone Dyer pay their respects to David Bowie complete with a choir and orchestra, performing songs from his final album “Blackstar” and – for the first time live – “Warszawa”, a track he composed in Berlin together with Brian Eno. The Brooklyn duo, Buke and Gase, also featuring Arone Dyer, will also present their latest album, developing their futuristic form of indie pop played on self-made instruments even further. The Notwist percussionist Andi Haberl will collaborate for the first time with the Danish electronic and new music composer Kaj Duncan David, and the Berlin choir Cantus Domus will sing Caroline Shaw’s “Courante” from the young, Pulitzer prize-winning American composer’s “Partita”. Over three and a half hours of constant interchange between the participating musicians will create the unbroken flow of a live mixtape that represents both a laboratory and a live seminar for the very newest music.
