Libero Mureddu tells about this concert:
For my second doctoral concert on the 25th October, at Musiikkitalo, there are coming great musicians from Germany, Finland, UK, and Italy.
In that concert at Musiikkitalo, four players on stage (Sjöström, von Schlippenbach, Borghini, and Calcagnile) will play live together with their digital avatars. The avatars will be controlled respectively by Schweizer, myself, Herrala and Mustonen) while Wachsmann will attend the concert as part of my doctoral jury.
However, in this jaZZanti concert everybody will play their own instruments, resulting in a potential ‘double quartet plus one’, with two wind instruments, two basses, two drums, one DJ and one piano, and a violin.
It will be quite fascinating to witness how the digitally mediated collaboration and understanding of each other’s styles will translate within a more traditional setting, without technology. During this concert we will play different pieces in different combinations.
Most of the performers have known each others since long time, and there are multiple personal and artistic trajectories in place tonight, and hopefully new ones will blossom, a fact that is always important for the development and the growth of the international community of creative musicians. It is a diverse group of people, and not only geographically, that includes some of the early creators of this music all the way to the youngest generation. Similarly, their artistic interests and activity extends across a wide area of music practices.
For me personally, it is a great honour to have collaborated with them, and a pleasure to bring them together and play with them. Above all, it will be great occasion to see on stage those fabulous creators of real-time music.
