New Compositions for Peter Tscherkassky´s Cinemascope Trilogy

 

This multistage project was initiated by impuls within the frame of the ULYSSES-Network in 2017, involving several partners and enjoying already presentations beyond the ULYSSES-Network-partner-organisations (IMD in July 2018, Gaudeamus in September 2018).

The young, but already internationally successful composers Mirela Ivičević and Julien Malaussena (impuls), Javier Elipe Gimeno and Ariadna Alsina (IRCAM), Boris Bezemer and Mikołaj Laskowski (Gaudeamus) as well as Clara Iannotta and Simon Løffler (IMD) are commissioned by impuls and its partners to develop new compositions to the experimental films of the Austrian filmmaker Peter Tscherkassky – in specific for his internationally praised CinemaScope Trilogy, for which he also received multiple awards.

After a kick-off meeting for all artistis involved in this project in Graz back in 2017, which included also a symposion on film and music, meetings with Yaron Deutsch of Ensemble Nikel as representative of the future interpreters, and coaching by Wolfgang Mitterer and Jorge Sánchez-Chiong, impuls is now heading towards the realization of its own commissions, the premiere of further compositions contributed by participants of the impuls Academy 2017 as well as two new compositions that were premiered already at one of the partner institutions beforehand. All composers involved will be present at impuls, and also meet for a discussion of the project the day after the main event. Furthermore Clara Iannotta and Simon Løffler are also included in the team of the Academy as junior tutors.
