Kwadratur #2

Transfo
2010

In Kwadratur #2/Transfo once again Eric Sleichim explores with BL!NDMAN the limits of concert expercience. Pieces intertwine: known and unknown, familiar and unfamiliar fit together into a kaleidoscopic, sensual experience. The central idea for this project is transformation. The grey zone between the safely marked out conventions and categories becomes the playground of this performance. Musicians reach beyond the limits of their familiar instrument. Sound is molded into unreal, new elements. A changing flux of impulses, between light and dark, visual and audible, leads the audience to an intense, ever changing experience of space.
