Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto honor Mannheim
On the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the city of Mannheim,
Germany, and at the invitation of the city's officials,
alva noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto have developed - together with
the Ensemble Modern Frankfurt - a concept for a concert based on
both a musical and visual performance, inspired by the innovations
of the Mannheimer Schule of about 1750.
In planning the performance, alva noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto focussed
on a transition from the horizontal to a more vertical oriented
structure of composition, along with the expansion of dynamic steps.
The concept was influenced by the city of Mannheim's grid pattern
and symmetric structure.
The result of the cooperation is - as in former projects of
alva noto + ryuichi sakamoto - vrioon (2002), insen and revep
(both 2005) - a synergetic mixture/blend of electronic sounds
and the tone of classical instruments, which are intensified by
the full sound of the Ensemble Modern. The title of the
new composition, utp_, hints at a basically open concept,
which leaves space for extensive associations.
utp_ is a composition on the musical as well as visual level.
Lasting 72 minutes, the piece will have its premier performance
by alva noto, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and twelve members of the
Ensemble Modern on November 16th at Stadt Mannheim.
