The festival will start with Benedict Mason’s concert installation 2nd Music for a European Concert Hall. The title should be taken quite literally; the piece was written for a concert hall „that should be played on by an orchestra“. How? By having the musicians move around the space, by distance within the space becoming an important parameter, by movement of sound playing a decisive role. The musicians are playing instruments like toy frogs, foghorns, boom blasters, doorbells, organ pipes, walkie-talkies, sirens, starting pistols and rattles. Quite a challenge for a symphonic orchestra. Amongst his contemporaries Mason is a renewer within the field of instrumental music and SPOR is delighted to present this extraordinary event. <BR>
The opening night ends with a DJ concert: djTRIO is a rotating trio founded by Christian Marclay in 1996 to showcase the talent of some of the world's best avant-garde turntablists. Rooted in the context of free-improvisation, Marclay project continue pushing forward the definition of what deejaying is.<BR>
<BR>
SPOR 2007 will try to create events that challenge the terms of a classical concert in content and its framing. What happens when the composer himself goes on stage and blurs the distinction between musician and writer? What happens when musicians appropriate the space assigned to the audience as part of the work itself? How is one an audience in relation to the genre-clone sound installation? Are DJ’s creative artists in their own right? <BR>
