In its musikprotokoll debut, the Austria-based Black Page Orchestra plays a concert that offers unique live experiences. In collaboration with composer and performer Koka Nikoladze, the ensemble turns accustomed ways of hearing and seeing on their heads: the native Georgian composer, now based in Norway, spontaneously creates an animated musical score in real time that is projected for the audience and ensemble to see. It is a work that blurs the boundaries of composition, improvisation, and interpretation.

Serbian composer Maja Bosnić is known for her sophisticated multimedia concepts. For Graz, she has created a piece for hearing protectors, amplified ensemble, video, and electronics. The hearing protection allows audiences to experience high-impulse sounds corporeally without the risk of physical injury. The new work by the Swedish-Israeli composer and noise musician Dror Feiler develops an explosive power.

Compositions: Koka Nikoladze, Dror Feiler, Maja Bosnić
