  <title>Indiestad 2012 on 14 May 2012</title>
  <description><![CDATA[Location: Paradiso

Paradiso presenteert Indiestad: een week lang indie in de stad Amsterdam. Van 14 tot en met 22 mei organiseert Paradiso op meerdere locaties in Amsterdam mooie, bijzondere, grensverleggende, hippe en hartverwarmende indie-optredens en -initiatieven. De verkoop van passe-partouts is zaterdag 3 december van start gegaan.

Tijdens Indiestad zijn er optredens in Paradiso en op diverse andere locaties in Amsterdam, zoals De Duif. Ook de lente-editie van het London Calling festival (vrijdag 18 & zaterdag 19 mei) maakt deel uit van het programma. Indievloot is een initiatief van Paradiso en platenzaak Concerto dat al twee jaar bestaat; voor Indievlootconcerten, dat zijn concerten die Concerto je tipt, zijn in de platenwinkel een klein aantal kaartjes met fikse korting te koop.

Amsterdam is een levendige muziekstad en op het gebied van kunst en design past de term indie zeker bij Amsterdam- als in: nét een beetje links van het midden, vooruitstrevend en origineel. De Amsterdamse livemuziekscene is zelfs belangrijk voor de internationale muziekwereld; voor veel beginnende, onafhankelijke bands is een optreden op een podium in Amsterdam een springplank voor Europees succes. Indiestad besteedt op een positieve manier aandacht aan de stad Amsterdam als podium voor alles wat indie is. De organisatie ligt in handen van Paradiso.

Indie: “Afkorting voor independent, waarmee het hele systeem aan onafhankelijke platenlabels en de bands daarop, of bands met een eigen label, wordt aangeduid. Daarnaast is indie de genrebenaming voor die muziek uit de alternatieve sector die poppy is van karakter, maar té eigenzinnig blijft voor de hitparades.” (bron: Muziekencyclopedie)

Stad: stad de; v(m) steden 1 uitgebreid, samenhangend geheel van huizen en gebouwen. (Bron: Van Dale)

Indiestad passe-partouts (geldig voor alle Indiestad-programma’s op alle locaties) kosten 50 euro en zijn alleen te koop bij Concerto in Amsterdam, vanaf zaterdag 3 december.  Voor alle programma’s zijn losse kaarten te koop bij de reguliere voorverkoop adressen en via www.ticketservice.nl.]]></description>

  <title>Hauschka, J&#xF3;hann J&#xF3;hannsson &amp; Dustin O'Halloran on 15 May 2012</title>
  <description><![CDATA[Location: De Duif

18 euro

Hauschka (D)
De muziek van ‘prepared piano’-kunstenaar Volker Bertelmann – Hauschka – wordt omschreven als 'hedendaags minimaal klassiek'. ‘Salon des Amateurs’ is de titel van zijn laatste album, waarop onder andere Múm-drummer Samuli Kosminen en Calexico's John Convertino en Joe Burns te horen zijn. 
Dustin O’Halloran (USA)
De in Berlijn residerende Dustin O’Halloran maakte furore toen zijn muziek gebruikt werd voor de soundtrack van Sofia Coppola’s film Marie Antoinette. In 2011 bracht hij op het avontuurlijke FatCat label het alom bejubelde album ‘Lumiere’ uit, waarop zijn minimalistische pianowerk wordt gecombineerd met prachtige strijkers-arrangementen. 

Jóhan Jóhannsson (IS)
De IJslandse Jóhan Jóhansson componeert, produceert, treedt op en werkt samen met vele artiesten. Bovendien is hij oprichter van het in Reykjavik gevestigde multimedia-collectief Kitchen Motors. Jóhansson maakt ontroerende composities waarbij hij klassiek en opera een grote rol spelen. Zijn album ‘The Miner’s Hymns’ uit 2011 is de soundtrack bij een film van Bill Morrison over de teloorgang van de Britse mijnindustrie.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Location: Barbican Centre

On sale to Red & Orange Members - Mon 21 Nov 10am
On sale to the general public - Tue 22 Nov 10am

A special triple bill of Fat Cat artists, all of whom are opening up very different pathways through the new musical zone where post-classical, electronica, ambient and song meet. 

Johann Johannsson was born in Iceland but currently lives in Copenhagen, Denmark. His first solo record - Englabörn - combined the influence of Baroque music, Erik Satie, Bernard Herrmann, Moondog and the electronic music of labels like Mille Plateaux and Mego, and it became a defining document of an emerging new sound. Subsequent releases like Virthulegu Forsetar (for brass ensemble, pipe organ, electronic drones and percussion) and IBM 1401 - A User's Manual (2006) (for 60-piece string orchestra) expanded both his musical vision and his influence. His most recent record The Miners' Hymns was a collaboration with the film-maker Bill Morrison, originally commissioned by the Brass Durham International Festival. For this show, Johann will perform with film projections and a string ensemble.


Hauschka is the alias of German pianist / composer Volker Bertelmann, who currently resides in Dusseldorf. He studied classical piano for ten years, but his work as Hauschka is based upon a playful exploration of the possibilities of the 'prepared' piano - a playfully disruptive intervention into the preconceived idea of the piano as a pure-toned, perfected instrument waiting for a gifted virtuoso to play on it. With the aid of his interventions, the piano becomes as much a machine for generating rhythms as it does for melody. His pieces are small rhythmic sound-vignettes inspired by East Asian harmonies, the minimalism of Reich, Glass and Nyman, and also by in Satie and Ravel. He is joined for this performance by Samuli Kosminen of Mum, which whom he toured successfully in 2011.
 

Dustin O'Halloran - born in Los Angeles but based in Berlin - is a pianist and composer of languid and contemplative melodies. A pair of solo piano recordings (made in 2005 and 2006) opened up a route away from Devics (the band he formed with Sarah Lov back in the 1990s) and towards a new voice. Since then, he has written soundtracks for Sofia Coppola and William Olsen and explored ever more expansive arrangements, bringing sighing strings, wistful harps and warm woodwind to recent records like Lumiere and Vorleben (both 2011). For this show, Dustin will perform with a string quartet.]]></description>

  <title>130701 Transcendentalists: Hauschka + Dustin O'Halloran + Johann Johannsson on 21 May 2012</title>
  <description><![CDATA[Location: RNCM

We’re delighted to be promoting this triple-header of ‘post-classical’ artists from the FatCat imprint 130701.

Tickets are available from the RNCM box office, Common (both no booking fee), Piccadilly Records, Vinyl Exchange, RNCM.ac.uk, Seetickets.com, WeGotTickets.com, Ticketline.co.uk and on 0871 220 0260.

Formed on 13 July 2001 (hence the superficially cryptic name), FatCat’s 130701 imprint was initially intended as a home for Montreal’s Set Fire To Flames and their non-traditionalist, drone and field recording-laced take on classical instrumentation and ‘post-classical’ compositions.

Since those first releases, via critically acclaimed albums from Parisian minimalist composer Sylvain Chauveau and the much-celebrated Max Richter, 130701 has come to represent a fine stable of some of the most recognisable names in the field.

The imprint has, more recently, delivered records from the three artists undertaking the Transcendentalists tour: Hauschka’s jaw-dropping classical/techno crossover Salon des Amateurs, a wholly unique and original take on dance music, written for prepared piano, orchestral instruments and drumkit; the elegant and hushed beauty of Dustin O’Halloran’s studio LP for piano, electronics and strings entitled Lumiere, and Vorleben, a follow-up live album for solo piano; and Jóhann Jóhannsson’s The Miners’ Hymns, released in May 2011 – the powerful soundtrack to Bill Morrison’s found-footage documentary on the mining communities of north east England and their tragic end, recorded live in the Durham Cathedral (a focal point of the film) by a 16-piece brass ensemble.

The Transcendentalists tour will mark the first time Dustin O’Halloran, Jóhann Jóhannsson and Hauschka have hit the road together. A group of artists connected not only by complementary approaches to composition and performance (or, incidentally, by sharing a label), but also by the philosophical ideals found in Transcendentalism: a sense of self-reliance in their respective dual roles as composer and performer, and a rejection of the rigidity of convention and institution, leaving purity, individualism, intuition, invention and community.

All three artists will play a set of equal length for this triple headline show, which is a co-promotion with the RNCM.

  <title>Schumannfest D&#xFC;sseldorf on 24 May 2012</title>
  <description><![CDATA[Location: Tonhalle

Robert Schumann ist der Pate eines besonderen Musikfestivals: das Schumannfest Düsseldorf 2012.

Vom 24. Mai bis 4. Juni ist es soweit. Unter der künstlerischen Leitung von Michael Becker, dem Intendanten der Tonhalle Düsseldorf, und der Dramaturgin Beate Schüler bricht das Festival auf zu einem neuen Schumann-Bild. 

Schumann ist Pate, Ideengeber, Ausgangspunkt, nicht mehr museales Schaustück. Die Begegnung mit ihm weckt Gefühle, denen das Schumannfest im Hier und Heute nachspürt. Nach dem Jubiläumsjahr 2010, in dem die Schumannstadt „ihren“ Komponisten mit der Aufführung seiner sämtlichen Werke hochleben ließ, besteht nun die Gelegenheit, sich dem genialen Freidenker und Innovator, seinen Gedanken, seinen künstlerischen Vorbildern und Nachfolgern aus neuen, zeitgenössischen Blickwinkeln anzunähern. 

Große Namen der Musik-Szene prägen das Festival: Emerson String Quartet, Tzmino Barto, die Camerata Salzburg, Hauschka, Owen Pallett, Kristjan Järvi, das Bundesjazzorchester, Katia & Marielle Labèque, Michael Barenboim, Igudesman & Joo, die 12 Cellisten der Berliner Philharmoniker. Das Festival bietet das große Spektrum der musikalischen Möglichkeiten, dazu gehören auch ungewöhnliche Aufführungskonzepte, aktuelle Klangadaptionen und Projekte für die Jugend, um nicht nur das der E-Musik ohnehin zugewandte Publikum, sondern auch eine neue Zuhörerschaft mit dem Werk, dem Leben und der geistigen Welt Schumanns vertraut zu machen. Alle Künstler haben sich darauf eingelassen, mit exklusiven Schumann-Kreationen das Publikum mit dem Werk, dem Leben und der geistigen Welt Schumanns vertraut zu machen. Immer auf Schumanns Spuren, aber immer auch ein wenig „neben der Spur“.]]></description>
