The Swiss-based Container Ensemble proposes an experience based on sound and mechanized electronics. The repertoire ranges between established authors of mechanical music, such as Conlon Nancarrow, and young composers with a significant career, such as Marianthi Papalexandri-Alexandri.
This concert is a unique opportunity to learn about a type of music that uses rhythm as its main element, in a context in which the union between machines, electronics and performers creates an aesthetic of enormous originality.
The concert includes the world premiere of the work SP'T (2023-24) for EMS Synthi AKS, an instrument from the Museum collection restored in 2022 for musical use. This work is the result of Container Ensemble’s artistic residency at the Museu de la Música, held between autumn 2023 and spring 2024. The R.S. Howard pianola to be used in the concert is also part of the Museum's collection.
