In collaboration with architect Dr Luise Nerlich (Bauhaus University Weimar), Broken Frames Syndicate creates a concert experience about music and architecture. The project was premiered in Weimar in April 2019 on the occasion of the Bauhaus Festival and the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus.
Music by Iannis Xenakis is played amidst architectural models, exhibition banners, and other objects. The audience is invited to move freely through the exhibition while experiencing the concert. Using a deliberate lighting concept to direct the focus, we combine exhibition with concert. We bridge pauses between pieces with interpretations of graphic 3D scores.
These »scores« were designed as ceramic tiles by students of the Bauhaus University. In the seminar POLY.TON, panels were created based on already existing pieces of music. The analysis of music becomes a three-dimensional sculpture. BFS reinterprets these sculptures in small ensembles and translates them back into music. An older piece of music is thus transferred through space to contemporary music.
