SPOR welcomes you to a festival of ‘exploded music’. Over the course of three days, from Friday the 7th until Sunday the 9th of May 2010, the public will experience musical works that have been disassembled and which challenge musical expression by means of other media and means of expression: movement, surroundings and visuals.
SPOR’s guest curator for 2010 is the British composer
Joanna Bailie (f. 1973, resident in Brussels).
Joanna Bailie is active as both composer, installation and performance artist and often collaborates with scenographers and choreographers. She says the following of her creative practice:
"Over the past few years I have become increasingly interested in the idea of transcription and of the music which is lost and the artefacts which are gained during such procedures."
SPOR 2010 will show musical transcriptions which aim not merely at mimicking but rather at strengthening musical expression through the inclusion of other practices.
SPOR 2010 will be a festive fireworks of innovative works and artistic practices.
We look forward to presenting a number of important composers, ensembles and sound-artists from locally and abroad:
Peter Ablinger (AT),
Trond Reinholdtsen (NO),
Mozart(!), Åsa Stjerna (SE),
Jacob Kirkegaard (DK),
Morten Riis (DK),
