METTALURGIE
The project METALLURGIE was initiated by Petra Ronner. Martin Lorenz (percussion), Luc Döbereiner and myself have composed new pieces for Petra (piano) and Martin (percussion), with Luc as sound director, and are to be followed by their interpretation of KONTAKTE by Stockhausen.
HAMMER HAMMER
I began working on my piece HAMMER HAMMER in 2011, when I made recordings in southern German workshops or factories that build pianos and parts of pianos- from Holzwerk Strunz (Pocking) , who find the wood for and produce sounding boards, and Louis Renner GmbH (Stuttgart), who create hammer mechanisms, and Sauter Pianofortemanufakture GmbH & Ko KG (Spaichingen), piano manufacturers. The ownership of the factories has passed through generations, survived hills and dales of political and industrial developments. Technical expertise and tactile knowledge has been passed from person to person, through hands, through words.
In the piece sounds from the factories can be heard, interviews, industrial machines, but also delicate actions of specialists upon refined material, reflecting a trade that has always existed as a fine interplay between humans and machinery to create a tool sensitive enough to transmit complex layers of human expression.
The live musicians co-exist briefly on stage with the stories of the instrument, the texture they create weaves between musical material that might have been influenced by industrial processes ( mechanical rhythms, sequences ) and endeavors for innovation, a personal mark upon a machine. The resulting process of the piece is one in which any perceived schism between industry and art (or technology and expression… machines and humanity) is ruptured.
The musicians have been working hard on this ambitious and autonomously organised programme. We hope some will be able to enjoy their precise and inspired performance in one of the concerts in Basel, Zürich or Berlin.
yours truly
Annesley Black
