»A blur of fur and bone«

In the organizer's words:

Florentin Ginot | Yaron Deutsch | Anna Petrini: Iannotta | Romitelli

With the eloquent titles of her compositions, the Italian Clara Iannotta opens up poetic spaces of association, evokes moods, sets signs, plays with patterns of interpretation and allusion.

This is also the case in "a blur of fur and bone", a three-part work commissioned for the ACHT BRÜCKEN Festival. The image of a decomposed animal carcass inevitably comes to mind. Or is it slaughterhouse waste?

It's not really clear, but you certainly wouldn't be wrong to expect music that goes straight to the core. "Sound has the power to penetrate depths that words cannot reach," the composer states. The depths here are by no means to be understood metaphorically.

For Iannotta, music has a direct physical component - and where could this be felt more clearly than in the lower frequencies of the human auditory spectrum? When the sound in wave fronts vibrates not only the highly specialized drum, but also the diaphragm... In the low registers of the double bass recorder, Iannotta points in the direction of the bizarre, subterranean soundscapes of "Seascape" by her early deceased compatriot Fausto Romitelli: music to dive into.

The concert will be recorded for radio by WDR. The broadcast date and link will be announced here at a later date.
