Raum-Musik für Saxophone

Raum-Musik für Saxophone
The Ensemble Raum-Musik für Saxophone is particularly interested in playing in unconventional venues. We are at home where sound becomes an Event. The Music is freely improvised but in each case adapted to the specific venue. We Focus on the spatial connotations of Music and consider a concert as an experience in space and time, exploring the multidimensionality of space: its acoustic, architectural and physical properties, its atmosphere, mood potential as well as emotional and sensual connotations. We are very well aware of the fact, that our concerts are different for every listener, depending very much on the specific Location and e.g. also on the Position and perspective of the listener. Our concerts are far from a typical Performance on stage; Players and audience typically are supposed to move around during a concert. Typical examples for venues are art museums, churches, public Swimming baths, water reservoirs, factories, Gasometers, Underground garages and the like. Each space conveys its unique concept, inspires Improvisation and does not act merely as an immovable parameter, but actually comes into play as a partner through the musical action. The Ensemble consists of 9 saxophonists and has been founded in 1985 in Karlsruhe, Germany.
