Program description

ŽiŽi – How do my words sound?

The Ensemble Phoenix Basel plays text scores from the Druckstelle

 

How do my words sound? Are there loud and less loud sentences? Why does my text rustle, thunder or squeak? How can it be played with instruments?

The children at the Druckstelle explored these and other questions during the spring break. Together with the musicians from Ensemble Phoenix Basel, they explored the relationship between words and sound and used experimental writing and printing techniques to create their own compositions. The result of this exploration are several text scores, which are interpreted by the Ensemble Phoenix Basel.

Mediators:

Muriel Comby, Marcel Gross, Zora Marti, Sebastian Meyer, Mathis Rickli, Gladys Rüegsegger-Flores, Deborah Senn
