der/gelbe/klang: Aserbaidschan meets sonic suit

In the organizer's words:

Between sound and body - compositions in dialog with the Sonic Suit

On this evening, four current works by Azerbaijani composers meet an unusual instrument: the Sonic Suit. In this innovative electro-acoustic performance, composition, improvisation, movement and sound are combined in a new way.

The Sonic Suit is a wearable, sensor-based instrument that combines music, fashion and technology.
technology. The performer's touches and movements are transformed into sound in real time via microphones and sensors. The resulting electro-acoustic sounds are never the same - they react to space, body and atmosphere and are created in the moment.
Between the individual works, the Sonic Suit sets short improvised
between each piece - sonic reflections that relate to the piece heard before. This creates a flowing concert arc in which compositions and spontaneous performance merge.

The works themselves reflect different aesthetic and cultural perspectives: Turkar Gasimzada's Interlude for Rainforest IV (2024) can be understood as a meditative echo of David Tudor's legendary work - acoustically enhanced with quotations from Purcell's Dido's Lament. Ayaz Gambarli's Quinta Essentia (2025) deals with the encounter of opposing musical impulses and their return to the essence. Said Ghani's Pareidolia (2024-25) takes a psychological phenomenon as its starting point: the recognition of supposedly familiar patterns in random stimuli. Tahir Ibisov's Entlang der Morgenröte (2025) is based on Aristotle's four types of movement - as a musical transformation of darkness, spirit, becoming and ritual.

The result is an evening between composition and improvisation, structure and intuition - an interplay of man, technique and sound.
