Tomorrow – Pierre Jodlowski – OUTERSPACE

Trombone – Video – Electronics

Tomorrow’s the day. Tomorrow Nadar heads into the heart and living rooms of Luxembourg City to present and play “Your Place or Mine.” As part of this special program, I get to take on Pierre Jodlowski’s new work for solo trombone, video and electronics titled, OUTERSPACE. This piece is awesome! Truly in the spirit of this program, we peak into a virtual realm that seems to be connected to the concert space and somehow embodied by the trombonist.

Come join us! Here’s a link to the concert. 

Afterwards, please join us in the Philharmonie Luxembourg for Part II: Wettl, Marino, Prins & Beil. 

Luxembourg City, Luxembourg – Huddersfield, England – New York City, USA

Jodlowski & Stockhausen

3 cities | 3 solos | 2 great pieces

ТОМАС МУР (БЕЛЬГІЯ). OKTOPHONIE & SIGNALE ZUR INVASION | KARLHEINZ STOCKHAUSEN Концерт-інсталяція до 90-річчя Карлгайнца Штокгаузена на фестивалі актуального мистецтва Porto Franko 2018, Івано-Франківськ, 2018.

In the coming weeks, I’ll get to revisit a masterpiece by Stockhausen and take on a brand new amazing work from Pierre Jodlowski.

It starts in Luxembourg at the Rainy Days Festival. Nadar Ensemble, welcomed once again into local living rooms, will bring the program “Your Place or Mine.” I get to take on Jodlowski‘s newest horror spectacle for solo trombone, electronics and video: OUTERSPACE.

Then its time again to revisit Stockhausen’s amazing solo masterpiece for Trombone, Octophonic Tape and Immersive Video (Klaas Verpoest): Signale zur Invasion. Once again, my partners from Centre Henri Pousseur and video artist Klaas Verpoest will be joining me. We will bring this “intense & galatic trip” to the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival on the 22nd of November and then head to New York City to play it in the John Doe Gallery (hosted by Innuan.org) on the 7th of December.

Hope to see you there!

This weekend I am off to Vienna to once again strap on Alexander Khubeev’s unique “Conductor’s Instrument” and perform his Ghost of Dystopia with the Black Page Orchestra. I am thrilled that I get to step back into this role and am very much looking forward to working with this great ensemble in their home town.

Topping off the bill are Stefan Prins’s “Generation Kill, Offspring 1”, Sarah Nemstov’s “Journal” and “Drop” by David Bird.

After two sold out concerts in Centralstation in Darmstadt, next on the agenda is a home turf series of concerts during the Museumnacht – Antwerpen.  I have the fortune to repeat Stefan Prins’s really cool and fun to play solo work for Trombone, mp3-players, and guided walking tour: FITTINGinSIDE. So, if you missed it in Darmstadt, here’s your chance. We’ll play on the half hour every hour from 7:30 pm to 12:30 am.

And a big thank you to IMD and the city of Darmstadt. We had a great week seeing this city from a slightly different perspective during this summer’s edition of the Darmstadt Summer Course for New Music.

Here is a link to an interesting review of our location concerts in the Algemeine Zeitung.

And here is a link to an episode of the Good Morning Darmstadt podcast made the day after Nadar’s second concert day.  In it you’ll hear an interview with our Artistic Co-Director Pieter Matthynssens and myself.

Today, Tonight, & Tomorrow – Nadar Premieres OurEars at the famous Darmstadt Summer Course for Modern Music.  We’ll bring new location-based works from Natacha Diels, Martin Schüttler, Vladimir Gorlinsky, & Cathy van Eck. The evening program will feature a new piece by Louis d’Heudieres, a fantastical rendition of Joanna Bailie’s Analogue, and I once again get to play Stefan Prins’s awesome FITTINGinSIDE for Trombone, MP3-Players, and Walking tour.

See you there!

This is really an amazing festival:  Porto Franko – Ivano-Frankivsk, The Ukraine. Really, everybody should go there.

A Big THANK YOU to Illia Razumeiko for inviting us and putting it all together.  Keep up the good work.

Tomorrow the adventure in Ivano-Frankivsk begins! Together with my colleagues Patrick Delges (Centre Henri Pousseur) and Klaas Verpoest, I once again get to perform Stockhausen’s masterpiece for solo trombone, octophonic electronics, and immersive video. We’ll play this Friday at the Porto Franko festival in the Ukraine at a very unique location – the city’s Airport! How cool is that?!

In two weeks time, I’ll be headed back to the Ukraine to play Stockhausen’s masterpiece for solo trombone, “Signale zur Invasion.” The Porto Franko festival has graciously invited us, Patrick Delges (CHP), Klaas Verpoest and myself, to perform our integrative, immersive Signale & Oktophonie for Trombone, Electronics, and Video.
