Diocese uses music that makes any normal person run away to get people into Church
Experimental music in the church space
Some of the composers at the preliminary meeting in January 2023
The Archdiocese of Paderborn commissions electronic music for special spaces. The premiere will take place on Saturday, September 2, 2023 in three Paderborn city center churches, the Market Church, the Capuchin Church and the Bartholomew Chapel.
Experiencing different worlds of sound
Churches are not only architecturally significant spaces, they are places of encounter and worship, social spaces, spaces of difference and, indeed, spaces of sound. These transform the spaces into sound. In free composition, the composers open up a respective individual perspective in dialogue with the church space. Contemporary artists inspire and confront visitors with existential questions, sounds and noises. In this way, churches are transformed into new sound spaces.
The composers are inspired by diverse extra-musical and musical sounds and noises. For example, Christina Kubisch portrays several Pader springs, which she recorded especially for this piece at different locations in Paderborn.
Ulf Pleines quotes machine noises, water and wind and criticizes the current refugee policy. Christoph Ogiermann processed the Minsk assassination in 2011 in his music. Ralf Hoyer and Matthias Krüger place language and its sounds at the center of their compositions, as a development of communication and self-discovery. Tobias Tobit Hagedorn and Florian Zwissler work abstractly with synthetic sounds. Oxana Omelchuk and Dorothee Hahne write bells and bell-like music.
Nikolaus Heyduck's title alludes to planetary music, as does Florian Hartlieb, who contributes a sound installation lasting several hours.
