SOUND DESIGN
Alfred Reiter

In cooperation with
Österreichischen Gesellschaft für
Zeitgenössische Musik (ÖGZM)

How do AI, robotics, and virtual reality affect the freedoms of contemporary composing? What musical questions arise with a view toward future digital revolutions? PHACE from Vienna brings these topics together in three world premieres.

In Alessandro Baticci’s Luminal Mirage, natural and virtual sounds merge. The instruments imitate the sound of electronics, doubling rhythms and timbres. Endlessly ascending and descending lines wind along, as if in an M. C. Escher staircase.

Grzegorz Pieniek is inspired by futuristic films and current digital developments. Nava Hemyari uses balloons as portable instruments. Annesley Black, who has been teaching composition at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz since 2023, presents her work scrap at ORF musikprotokoll. She works with the live electronic processing of instrumental sounds; the smallest possible distinguishable audio fragments vie for supremacy over hearing and memory.
