Nadar at Darmstadt Ferienkurse 2012

After Nadar’s very enthousiastically received concert at the 2010-edition of the Darmstadt Ferienkurse, the ensemble developed a new concert program for the 2012-edition in close collaboration with the Darmstadt Ferienkurse.
This concert-program is based on the concept of the Free samples (click here) – program which is performed in March 2012 at the Handelsbeurs, Ghent. The Darmstadt Ferienkurse commissioned Alexander Schubert, Jorge Sanchez-Chiong and Johannes Kreidler to write new compositions for Nadar within this program and the concept of “sampling”. The video’s Pièce Touchée by Martin Arnold and Long Live the New Flesh by Nicolas Provost will be shown alongside these three new composition.

Press Review: the world's longest melody

Review The Wire (september 2010)




Larry Polansky: The world's longest melody

New World Records / Lavial | Released: 2010 | (80700-2)

The World’s Longest Melody is a collection of experimental music written for the guitar by composer/guitarist Larry Polansky (b. 1954). The guitar has long been an important component in Polansky’s musical explorations, and this CD has grown from the enthusiasm for his work by the musicians of the Belgian electric guitar quartet ZWERM. The acoustic and electric guitar are featured both solo and in small and large combinations; a few pieces not originally conceived for the instrument are also presented here in guitar-oriented guise. These works explore new techniques of experimental intonation, computer composition, and extraordinary and new modes of playing the guitar. It includes the premiere recording of his radically difficult for jim, ben and lou (harp, guitar, and percussion) in which the percussionist retunes the strings to different just intonations as the piece progresses. Given the endlessly fluent and fertile nature of Polansky’s imagination one is somehow reluctant to describe any of his individual compositions as a masterpiece: but certainly this work powerfully encapsulates a wide range of his preoccupations and integrates them into a coherent whole that could not be mistaken for the work of any other composer.
