180° - ximeR°

Join the 180 degrees festival - Festival innovative arts. Tonight at Factory 126 of 8.00 pm we will hear a mix of classical and electronic music.

The world of classical music has discovered the remix: electronic re-arrangements of compositions for acoustic instruments. For instance, the Deutsche Grammophon label has build an entire series on this concept: “ReComposed”, with techno artists remixing compositions of Vivaldi to Mussorgsky to Mahler. Being asked to provide such a remix by Weimar's Spring Festival, techno artist Stefan Goldmann asked himself the question: why not make this more challenging? Instead of transforming an ensemble recording, he created a purely electronic work of music. Then three composers were invited to listen to his “remix” and imagine how their (still non-existent) composition could have sounded if it were the source. The result: three wildly different works for ensemble, but all held together by the musical material laid out in the remix highlighting the composers' different artistic approaches. 180° takes this idea of reverse engineered scores into round two!
In this event we will hear the four acoustic remixes of the young composers Adrian Pavlov (Bulgaria), Lukas Tobiasen (Germany), Daniel Chernov (Argentina) and Dimitar Milev (Bulgaria), performed by the 180° Ensemble. The audience will choose the winner who will get a commission for the next edition of 180°.
