Immersive concert performance by Philo Tsoungui & The String Archestra

The immersive concert "generating realities" by drummer Philo Tsoungui with the ensemble The String Archestra - the only ensemble nationwide that specializes in works by BIPoC composers - combines computer-generated music, string instruments and electronic live production in a multimedia walk-in (sound) space.

Friction loss, glitch, clash: Drummer and producer Philo Tsoungui plays with the translation between digital and analogue media, in both directions. Her computer algorithms generate music for The String Archestra from recorded sound samples of string instruments.

In the performance, Tsoungui manipulates the live music with electronic means. Fragile sounds of the string instruments collide with futuristic sound collages - mechanical computer music with human spontaneity.

During the performance in the Radialsystem, which Tsoungui developed as part of her fellowship at the Beethovenfest and which will premiere in September, the audience can move freely around the musicians.

The room is bathed in projections of shapes and colors that react to the movements of those present.
