Ignoring Boundaries, Cage Night in Bonn

I have the great honor to be playing in three different concerts at this year's Beethoven Festival in Bonn. 

This event is called "Cage Night",  organised by pianist and my duo partner, Susanne Kessel, in honor of John Cage's 100th year. It will take place from 7pm to midnight at the Bonn contemporary Art Museum.

I hope that you can make it! It will be a fabulous evening of 4x 40 minute concerts!

I have attached our program, and there will be lot's more music of John Cage and other contemporary composers happening in the space throughout the evening and simultaneously!

On of the concerts will feature the 100th year of another milestone of music, Olivier Messiaen. Susanne has recently completed a CD of Messiaen's  music along with works of mine for solo piano and electronics, as well as soundscapes, soon to be released by Oehms Classic in co production with the Deutschlandfunk.

Please see the festival's site for all the information at: http://en.beethovenfest.de/programm/#

Setting up the Cologne recording session.

 

 

Dear Friends,

I have just returned from Cologne where I spent a fasinating 3 days working with pianist Susanne Kessel.

Here are a couple of photos of the fabulous facility at the Deutschlandfunk where we were so wonderfully received. 

In these photos we were setting up gongs for a new work called "Gongscape for Olivier Messiaen" and a peak from the booth while recording  Timetexture, for piano and electronics. 

 

 

 

We expect the CD to be released in the spring of 2012.

More news soon!

Best to all,

Leon.
