Fever / ji-virus

The long-term under the title Ars Acustica" CD edition realizes outstanding works of acoustic art, as they have emerged in recent decades, in particular for the "Studio Acoustic Art" of the West German Radio in Cologne. "Fever" - a complex sound composition jazz musician Michael Riessler interprets the English dancer, actor, writer and choreographer Nigel Charnock Shakespearean sonnets in permanent excessive movement. With Nigel Charnock I have made a selection of sonnets of Shakespeare that I release it from the sphere of purely literary-historical and want to make it a current discourse about love, loss, grief, hope, ecstasy and doom. The quasi historicizing music of the String Quartet which at times is reminiscent of Henry Purcell and his era, forms the musical context and starting point for the actions of the protagonists between memory and mindfulness - as it were a theater stage in the ear. "Ji-virus" - "A Jingle is exposed to the voraciousness of pirates viruses under the effect of the output motive changed so that seemingly always emerge new meanings same time destroy and degrade the virus the previous and also produce new information in this kind of... manipulation by the style forms is the effect in the foreground, a kind of musical propaganda. How far can the soloist in this synthetic sound world, with his conventional musical instrument seems powerless against it, claiming?"
