RHENUS-UMSCHLAGHALLE*

 

TRASH

 

Musik-Performance im Rahmen des Festivals ZeitRäume Basel und des

“Europäischer Tag für Denkmalpflege 2015”.

 

Am Europäischen Tag des Denkmals öffnen sich Türen zu Räumen, die dem Publikum sonst verborgen bleiben. Die perfekte Gelegenheit, auch musikalisch Neuland zu entdecken: Dank der Kantonalen Denkmalpflege Basel-Stadt, der IGNM Basel und dem Festival ZeitRäume wird die Rhenus-Umschlaghalle für eine Stunde zum Hörerlebnis. Der E-Gitarrist Yaron Deutsch (Ensemble Nikel, Klangforum Wien u.v.a.) präsentiert im rauen Setting des Industrie-Raums Werke von vier sehr unterschiedlichen Komponistenpersönlichkeiten, die der E-Gitarre ungeahnte Klänge entlocken. Poetisch und rockig, virtuos und ausdrucksstark, experimentell und kraftvoll – ein Klangbad im Basler Rheinhafen.

Pierluigi Billone (*1960): «Sgorgo Y» for electric guitar (2013)

Steve Reich (*1936): «Electric counterpoint» for electric guitar and tape (1987)
