announcement


Jan Werner and Michel Waisvisz work and perform at the GRM in Paris
Premiere: next friday march 10th, Salle Olivier Messiaen, Radio  
France Paris

To mark the start of a fresh collaboration between STEIM in Amsterdam  
and the GRM in Paris Jan Werner and Michel Waisvisz will be working  
next week in the studio's of the GRM and present the week's results  
in a concert in the big hall of Radio France next friday March 10th.  
The collaboration of the two organizations: GRM, the birthplace of  
Music Concrete  and STEIM, the first center entirely dedicated to  
live performance of electronic music, is a step into a future where  
the traditional studio practice and live performance of electronic  
music will melt together. Radical developments in technology and  
artistic integration make it possible to perform high quality  
electronic music on stage and methods developed in live electronic  
music provide more musical, hands on, compositional and performance- 
like tools for the studio. Studio production is not anymore  
necessarily the end-of-a-line; it can be the preparation of sound  
structures for further treatment into the musical texture on stage,  
actively in front of the audience.
We call it 'hard-disk' music because both on stage and in the studio  
the hard-disk is the communal medium through which the sound travels  
to it's destination: the audience in the hall, the hard-disk in the  
listeners computer, or the hard-disk that we call CD!
The concert of Michel Waisvisz and Jan Werner (both directors of  
STEIM) will be part of the 'PrÃsences Ãlectronique' festival in  
which also music will be performed by Bernard Parmegiani, Ryoji  
Ikeda, Carl Stone, Kasper T.Toeplitz, Robert Hampson, Yoshihiro  
Hanno, Jon Hassell, Lightwave et Michel Redolfi)

'Werner-Waisvisz'
in concert with very old and new electronic music instruments

Werner/Waisvisz work on the edge of sound research, experimentation,  
sheer idiosyncrasy and mashed up technology. Waisvisz is composing/ 
performing on stage with live electronica for more than 35 years. He  
developed a series of new electronic music instruments at the STEIM  
foundation in Amsterdam and performed with many of the dignitaries of  
influential experimental music streams. Werner is one half of German  
electronic duo Mouse on Mars and co-director of the music label Sonig.
Werner/Waisvisz use unique instruments such as the Crackle synth, a  
prototype of the lately developed Meshbox, The Hands and other  
devices which are exclusively produced at Steim...
The music of WW explores the fields of electro acoustic  
experimentation, free improvised music, ons stage composing and  
electronic tiltery. Including sudden rock burst-outs  juxtaposed with  
subtle sensations of microsounds and minute grain slammings. Their  
rare live performances are challenging the ears and expectations of  
the adventurous music audience.

from a recent review of a concert in belgium:

"flowing streams of grainy chords doled out in the cutting speed of  
an unusual electro acoustic performance with a kick-happy rock beat  
moving behind screeching synth cracks that hang chopped rhythms  
behind riffs in intricate weavings and pre-curse rapid changes with  
experimental exclamation. Simple, familiar grooves give new nuance  
and context to the vivid musical action. Always varying compositional  
elements cycle through the compositions and are given depth and  
context by the harsh breathless noises and cyclings of muffled  
strumming and delicate speed processing which are usually unheard in  
academic music and impossible to imagine in contemporary pop. A  
unique coming together of two of most unusual composers of  
contemporary informal music." ( P.B.)
