Mutability (@Holland Festival 2024) 5 min impression

This is a 5 min edit of a 90 min recording made at the premiere of this collective work created for Holland Festival 2024. It was performed on the 23rd June at the Muziekgebouw, Amsterdam.
"For Mutability, composer Yannis Kyriakides asked twelve composers to write two to three-minute miniatures. Several perform the music themselves, alongside musicians from Asko|Schönberg. ‘Each piece tells its own story,’ Kyriakides says, ‘which is not expressed in language but embodied by the musicians.’ The music is played live, but is also transformed by a series of algorithms that constantly mutate the pre-recorded visuals and sounds of the soloists. Soloists, visual projections and electronics meet in a hallucinatory space designed by Darien Brito & Theun Mosk. The audience is free to move through a concert installation that is constantly changing and filled with ghostly reflections of the original miniatures. The identity of the instruments can be heard at times, but not always. Magical music grows out of the twelve crossing life paths to linger in for a while - the original performance and mutation process lasted six hours." (Programme book Holland Festival)
