The AGGREGATE Festival is back with two days of hyperorgan music. We are delighted to present works for computer-controlled organ and electronics on two of Berlin’s most beautiful organs. With Marcin Pietruszewski, Maxime Denuc, Arnold Dreyblatt and gamut inc
The Berlin ensemble gamut inc (Marion Wörle and Maciej Śledziecki) presents the fourth edition of the AGGREGATE Festival at the Auenkirche and the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche Berlin on November 29 and 30.
There will be new works for pipe organs by Marcin Pietruszewski (Auditory Distortion Synthesis for Organ and Computer-Generated Pluriphonic Sound) and Maxime Denuc (Nachthorn +) in the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church and by gamut inc and Arnold Dreyblatt in the Auenkirche.
Together with outstanding composers from the fields of electronic, electro-acoustic and experimental music as well as new music, gamut inc will develop pioneering artistic strategies between acoustic and electronic music on internationally renowned organs as part of the AGGREGATE series. Thousands of notes and parameters are prepared, generated and manipulated using composition programs. The pipes are controlled by the computer, but the sound comes from the pipes as in traditional playing.
Maxime Denuc is an electronic music composer based in Brussels. For some years now, his solo work has focused on pipe organs. Among other things, he will present the hypnotic piece of music “Nachthorn”, in which the organ is the sole protagonist. It oscillates between dub techno and harmonic grooves. The record was highly praised by critics, especially by Boomkat, which included it in its list of the ten records of 2022. It was also chosen as the soundtrack for the Chanel Spring-Summer 2023 haute couture show.
Marcin Pietruszewski is a composer and researcher. He deals with sound synthesis and composition on the computer and explores specific formal developments in the tradition of electroacoustic music and contemporary sound art as well as non-musical fields such as auditory design, computational linguistics and psychoacoustics.
Arnold Dreyblatt (b. New York City, 1953) is an American media artist and composer. He has been based in Berlin since 1984. Dreyblatt is the Vice-Director of the Visual Arts Section of the Akademie der Künste in Berlin. One of the second generation of New York minimal composers, Dreyblatt studied music with Pauline Oliveros, La Monte Young, and Alvin Lucier and media art with Woody and Steina Vasulka. He has invented a set of new and original instruments, performance techniques, and a system of tuning.
