“SPECTRUM XXI” festival is the only worldwide event dedicated to spectral music – one of the major trends in experimental and contemporary music. Spectralism is a leading idea, a true paradigm in today's music, which brings together different musical trends, however, with similar concerns on sound, timbre, color, harmonic spectrum.
The Interfaces version of SPECTRUM festival holds its tenth edition in 2016 with concerts in London, Berlin and Paris aiming to contribute to the development of a common European musical space and provide the audience with better access, understanding and reception of the actual music.
In completion to the concerts in London (In New River Studios, the 25th and 26th of November), Hyperion Ensemble will organise two workshops centered on the investigation of new playing techniques, in the light of phenomenology and acousmatics. The Workshops will combine a training session with explanations and exemplifications, gathering together members of Hyperion International and students from musical establishments.
The concerts in Berlin will be accompanied by a launch of the last CDs from the Edition Modern series featuring works by spectral composers Dumitrescu and Avram, as well as the book titled, “The Metamorphosis of the Musical Text”.
