| Kontakt
der Jünglinge is the collaboration between German sound artists
Asmus Tietchens and Thomas Köner. It joins two generations of
artists dedicated to uncompromisingly inventive electronic sound: Asmus
Tietchens has been active since four decades, and his electroacoustic
compositions have been awarded two times with the prestigious
Karl-Sczuka-Preis in Donaueschingen. “Kontakt der
Jünglinge” is named as a tribute to works by Karlheinz
Stockhausen: “Gesang der Jünglinge”, as one of the
touchstones in the history of electronic music and
“Kontakte”, as a paradigmatic example of music that
broadens the new perspectives of sound. This hommage shows their
adherence to a long tradition of electronic music in Germany. Just as
one can describe the creative path of electronic music as transcendent
evolution that is guided by its inherent need to overcome horizons that
once have been attained, the concerts of “Kontakt der
Jünglinge” always present intuitive and personal
explorations of sonic material that result in unexpected and exciting
modern music. Their eclectic list of concerts includes live broadcasted
performances at the Grosse Sendesaal of the WDR Radio in Cologne as
well as presentations in art museums like the Stedelijk Museum in
Amsterdam. Links: http://www.kontaktderjunglinge.de http://www.koener.de/kontaktderjnglinge.htm http://www.tietchens.de/ http://www.radiobeograd.co.rs/ http://www.ebu.ch/en/radio/euroradio_classics/arsacustica/index.php |
