COM.POST [post-gecomponeerd]

'Pottering about on the post-digital compost heap of contemporary music'
COM.POST is a concert series in which composers, artists, filmmakers, scientists, architects and performers are asked to compose new [sound]works.

For 2009 we have a guideline; urbanism, planning, architecture, social structures, chaos, planning and all kind of these things which are connected with our urban environment and its processes in private as well as public environment. How does social housing sound? How old fashioned is the conductors sound of the city, etc......
The idea is to work out something out of a specific location on the southborder where our club is. This can be a house, a car, the subway, a high roof, a public building, a park and so on. The final result of the research will be presented in a live performative setting on this location. This result needs to have sound as one of the main elements. It is not restricted to evident musical instruments, but can be improvised soundobjects, circuitbendings as well digital as analogue, field recordings, concrete objects amplified, dimmed noise, absolute isolation, etc.
The final (sound)compostion will be published on CD at the end of the series in a bundle of 6 CD's of all productions together with booklets containing concepts, inspirations, images out of which the composition was born:

2008: COM.POST #1 - 6

In 2008 the concept of the workshop involved the following questions: What is the state of contemporary composed music regarding sound and image, space and performance, 50 Years after the 'Poème Electronique' of Varèse, Xenakis and Le Cobusier? Is it possible to create another new vision of the future using (new?) technologies and what is the positions of the analog instrument in this constellation? How important (or inevitable) is image and performance?
