Detour - Contextual Concerts: Michael Fischer, Benjamin Tomasi and Mathias Kassm

On Sunday the June 27th 2010 Detour continues to break rules that were not there before: We think the resonating space around us shall never be assumed to be contributed to exclusively nor shall this soundscape be thought of as anyones composition. Thus Michael Fischer (Saxophone), Matthias Kassmannhuber (MPC) and Benjamin Tomasi (Laptop) will each play a Contextual Concert where the sonic actant plays his instrument for, with, along, against and/or unaffected by the surrounding soundscape, which in this case will be dominated by the 4-track road and subway ventilation shaft between Museumsquartier and Maria-Theresienplatz. The three musicians follow the Contextual Concert Two Line Manifesto: To play a Contextual Concert means to contribute without full control. Thus the sound amplification system shall amplify the surrounding soundscape as much as the musician. Each involved entity may influence, affect and disturb the other.

Entrance is free, doors open at 1830, performances start at 1900 (and we’ll finish in time for you to see the next soccer game, dont worry)

Detour is a monthly evening of variable dimension, multiformat
performances, highlighting artists taking sonic action using the world wide web and/or the urban environment as medium and/or material. Detour accentuates sonic artforms which in some way consider our existence in networked urban spaces as their resonating context. Detour is hosted by WORM moddr_lab Rotterdam/Vienna, located at Raum/quartier21/Museumsquartier Wien and curated by Bernhard Garnicnig.
