Hauke Harder sound
Viola Rusche editor

A cello piece. A boat ride. Thoughts on music and composition. The eight lines of his cello piece Sequenz 2 alternate with Ernstalbrecht Stiebler’s thoughts on slowness, space, reduction, resonance, vitality and emotion. A cinematic continuum.

Andrea Neumann + Reinhold Friedl
Both pianists perform a premiere at their own risk on the re-programmed keyboard.
commissioned by faithful! II

# Ernstalbrecht Stiebler Quintaden interpretable for three ensembles of diverse music directions (first performance)
# Dror Feiler Hypokeimenon interpretable for three ensembles of diverse music directions (first performance)
# Osvaldo Budon* “… aunque los siglos no recordaron nada …” interpretable for three ensembles of diverse music directions (first performance) *(a featured guest of the DAAD Berlin Artists Program)

For faithful! II three ensembles from various musical genres interpret – not improvise! – three new compositions. The ensembles come from the areas of notated new music, improvisation and early music. The composing of theses works for theses ensembles is understandably challenging for a composer. Participants of these ensembles also appear elsewhere in the program.
