Experimentelle Musik durch die kulinarische Linse

>>> Jul Dillier – Präpariertes Klavier | Bernhard Hadriga – E-Gitarre | Mona Matbou Riahi – Klarinette
"Für Flora Geißelbrecht klingt Mona Matbou Riahis Klarinettenspiel nach Rauch, Preiselbeer und schwarzem Kardamom, Bernhard Hadrigas frickelige E-Gitarrenwelt könnte hingegen gepoppte Senfkörner beinhalten. Und in Jul Dilliers präpariertem Klavier stecken die bitteren, sauren und wohligen Aromen von ganzen Zitronen."

Elastic Skies
Besser wird es nicht: Nora Blöchl, skug-erprobte Wiederholungskomplizin, kommt zum Salon. Sie macht Musik, die den Eyeliner immer oben und unten trägt und eigentlich überall Eyeliner hinmacht. Es ist ja bitteschön DARK WAVE, wir wiederholen: POST PUNK. Dass das überhaupt alles sehr gut ist, das haben sogar die lustigen Leute am Küniglberg gecheckt – mit oder ohne »schneller Nummer« zum »Ohrwurmrefrain«.

Spur: B
Besser wird es noch: mit David Baum, skug-bekannter Wiederholungstäter, der als Spur: B die wichtigsten Platten der sogenannten Zukunft rauskramt. Und zwar aus Detroit und Bristol und Kyiv und Köln und genau da und woanders hat man das alles schon gehört – nur noch nie so gut gemischt, klar.

Die Idee entstand aus dem Bedürfnis heraus, professionelles Musikschaffen in die Intimität eines Salons zu bringen. Dadurch bietet sich die Möglichkeit, MusikerInnen und Publikum nah zusammenzuführen, sich über das Gehörte und Erlebte auszutauschen. Es geht um eine persönliche Gegenseitigkeit, die im herkömmlichen Konzertbetrieb nicht vorkommt.

uraufführung

Weitere Vorstellungen: 5., 6., 9., 10. und 11. April 2025, 19:30 Uhr

Überspitzt und voller Ironie arbeitet sich das E3 Ensemble in Eine Ballettoper am Narzissmus der Kunstwelt, der Politik und an seiner eigenen Selbstverherr­lichung ab. Getrieben von exzentrischem Gesang, Tanz und von Dada inspirierter Sprache wird verzweifelt versucht, die perfekt glänzende Fassade ja nicht bröckeln zu lassen. Was anfangs wie eine schräg-lustige Performance wirkt, entwickelt sich zum wahnwitzigen Horror. Mit poetischem Tiefgang und skurriler Leichtigkeit feiert diese zum Scheitern verurteilte Ballettoper das Bizarre, das Absurde und das Bitterböse.
