Recent Performances:: Ver-rückte Grenzen

Wie klingt es, wenn ein Cello durch einen Verzerrer gejagt wird, der jeder Heavy Metal Band zur Ehre gereichen würde? Was passiert, wenn der Cellist den Bogen zur Seite legt und statt dessen das Griffbrett mit ausgefeilter Two-Hand-Tapping-Technik bearbeitet? Wie behauptet sich eine zarte Geige in der rauen Welt von Maschinenklängen? Und wie zaubert der Pianist diese Verrückten Sounds aus seinem original 80er Jahre Synthesizer?

Recent Performances:: Project Luminal
28/29 March, 2008, Melbourne, Australia

The Silo String Quartet

With two well-received performances from star quartet Silo String Quartet the world premiere of Salecich's latest epic for String Quartet, «dreaming of. . .», found its way into the hearts and minds of Melbourne concert-goers.

The work was complimented by David Chisholm's work Luminal, from which the project derived its name. These two works focussed on heavy topics: they both drew their inspiration from from Robert Jay Lifton's study The Nazi Doctors: Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide.

Luminal, from which the project derived its name, was the sedative repeatedly and secretively administered to children marked for the euthanasia program in the late 1930s, under the German Nazi Party.

Salecich's recently finished work «re.saturate.d» has been composed for the Viennese-based ensemble Trio Lacroix|Moser|Sterev. The work is fast and action-paced: a "super-saturated" landscape drawing from both ultra-modernist sources and trance-like repetitive music that becomes much more complex than may appear on first impressions.

This work was presented by the Trio on 31 January 2008 in Graz, Austria, at the Kulturzentrum Minoriten.
