Screening: This is the Uplifting Part - Ensemble Pamplemousse

“This is the Uplifting Part” ist eine Sammlung von 5 Kurzfilme des amerikanischen KomponistInnenkollektivs Ensemble Pamplemousse, herausgegeben Ende Februar 2017 bei dem Verlag Parlour Tapes in Chicago. Das Kollektiv besteht aus sechs KomponistInnen/PerformerInnen und existiert seit 2003. Die einzelnen Mitwirkenden des Ensembles sind wichtige Repräsentanten der Neue-Musik Szene in den USA, daneben funktionieren sie aber als Kollektiv, fast wie ein Band. Die clip-artigen Filme sind durch die gleiche kompositorische Ideen geformt wie die Stücke selbst.

“ The absurd dances with the sublime, and playfulness collides with rigor. “

~Peter Margasak, Chicago Reader

Composer/performer collective Ensemble Pamplemousse was founded in 2003 to provide a focal point for like-minded creators with a thirst for sonic exploration. The ensemble is a close-knit group of divergent artistic personalities, emergent from training in disparate musical fields. Their collective love for the exquisite in all sonic realms leads the ensemble to persistently discover new vistas of sound at the frayed edges of dissective instrumental performance technique. Compositions aggregate each member’s unique virtuosic talents into extraordinary magical moments. In the flexible moments of performance, the ensemble weaves together shapes of resonance, clusters of glitch, skitters of hyper action, and masses of absurdity into impeccable structures of unified beauty.
