Dialoghi. Annäherungen an Giacinto Scelsi

Only rarely do composers, performers and concert organizers around the world have the opportunity to focus on the reception of one of the most important composers of the 20th century, to discuss it in detail and to document the multi-layered creative processes of dealing with an extraordinary musical legacy and its influence on important contemporary musicians.
Beat Furrer, Rupert Huber and Markus Hinterhäuser are among the most important interpreters of Scelsi's work and are still committed to his oeuvre today. Their commitment, the history of their reception and their view of their own work are impressively traced.
Georg Friedrich Haas' composing was significantly influenced by Scelsi's work, just as he incorporates his music theory discussions into his teaching with students at international music universities to deepen his knowledge and inspiration.
The composer and improvisation artist Elisabeth Harnik expands the boundaries between "composition" and "improvisation" in conversation and thus encourages us to fundamentally rethink musical concepts!
Gerd Kühr, Klaus Lang, Clemens Gadenstätter and Uli Fussenegger take a narrative approach to Scelsi's aesthetics and his perception of sound as the "first movement of the unmoving", thus opening up new spaces for all those interested in the understanding, perception and reception of Giacinto Scelsi's sound work in the 21st century.
