crossing points - created by
Kathie Schmid AND RABBLE-FISH ENSEMBLE

An original theatrical and musical performance exploring borders using the words of SoCo residents – part of the county-wide Performance Sonoma
festival.
Borders and boundaries create our lives’ vital distinctions. Our original theater piece tells the stories of these edges and perimeters of ourselves, and our personal, cultural and national identities. What happens when these borderlands are crossed… or not?
Rabble-Fish Theater brings together world class performers and musicians from Europe, NY and Sonoma County, to create this new work using the collected words of local residents.
Our artists also cross borders of their disciplines, expanding their usual expression forms. Evocative movement, live music soundscapes and visual images encourage a deeper reflection upon the fluid and fluctuating nature of boundaries and borders in our lives.

Contributing Artists:
Kathie Schmid: actor, writer, director (Sonoma County)
Dirk Rothbrust: percussion (Germany)
Janne Rättyä: accordion (Finland)
Daniel Derdula: performance (Sonoma County)
Gerhard Stäbler: composer (Germany)
Kunsu Shim: composer (Germany)
Jörg Detmold: dramaturge/co-director (Germany)
Rosalie Wardell: photographs/artist (Sonoma County)
Kate Weare: choreography (New York)

Rabble-Fish Theater, founded by Sonoma County actor and artistic director Kathie Schmid, is dedicated to the creation of dynamic, inter-disciplinary theater in Sonoma County through an ongoing collaboration with visionary American and international performing artists.

Soundwall – a social performance, in Trier
(September 2005)

The collective project, Soundwall – a social performance, under the artistic direction of and with compositions by Gerhard Stäbler, will take place on September 2/3. A high-rise building in Mariahof, a district of Trier, will be artistically enlivened and musicalized. Contributors will include professional, new-music and jazz musicians, a popular Trier "mouthart" band (Leiendecker Bloas, under the direction of Helmut Leiendecker), members of several choirs, the Music Association Tawern, as well as building occupants, who through the use of their radios will add spice to the musical event.

The initial project impetus was based on bringing artistic enhancement to urban back-courtyards, which sometimes exist in rather sad, damp and dark conditions. Beginning with the observation that the sounds and noise of the inhabitants – those of running radios, television or banging kitchen utensils, for example – produce a pleasant soundscape, Stäbler will stage an approximately one-hour long artistic event. Through the cooperation with inhabitants the project can also help to span the traditional chasm between "entertainment" and "serious" culture. 

Soundwall – a social performance, belongs to the cultural project series "SCHW!NG" of the fabric company Trier. A sociological study conducted by the University of Trier, will accompany the project. The project development as well as the evening performances will be documented in a radio feature production, broadcast by SWR 2. 

When: September 2/3
Where: on the grass in the back courtyard of the high-rise building on Mariahof 69/71; entrance price: €5 (reg.), €3 (discounted)

 

"auf dem wasser, ein gesicht"
(July 2005)

Kunsu Shim and Gerhard Stäbler - composers from Korea and Germany ­ have long lived and worked together, mutually conceiving, planning and presenting performance events. auf dem wasser, ein gesicht (on the water, a face), a piece for koto, is their first joint composition. Due to the characteristics of the instrument itself ­ 13 identical strings, freely-movable bridges ­ sounds in this piece emerge onto unstable ground. Initially the strings are divided more or less in the middle. During the performance the bridges wander primarily to the left or the right edge, or to both edges. Thus, the ground under the sounds not only wavers, but continuously changes ­ like a reflection in water…. Nothing remains constant, not even the playing position ­ which moves from the middle to the left or right, or demands both arms be spread to opposite edges of the koto and simultaneously play there.

 

Meet the Composer Gerhard Stäbler
(May 5-12, 2005)

This was the motto of a one-week workshop in May 5-12, 2005 involving instrumentalists and culminating with a row of concerts at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz, Austria. Composer Gerhard Stäbler was invited by the young, Finnish Professor for Accordion Studies, Janne Rättyä. Under the title, "Works for the Accordion plus…", Gerhard Stäbler himself directed students in the rehearsal and performance of numerous solo and chamber music pieces of his, as well as his ensemble work, Den Müllfahrern von San Francisco (For the Garbage Collectors of San Francisco) for ensemble. These were then presented in three public concerts. Enthusiastic discussions were stimulated by not only the extremely expressive composition, Den Müllfahrern von San Francisco, but, above all else, by Gerhard Stäbler’s own solo performances. Following the Stäbler Portrait, and upon the invitation of Professor Christian Utz, a three-hour seminar was held in the university music sciences department. Its focus was the aesthetic and philosophical foundations of Gerhard Stäbler’s compositional work.

Gerhard Stäbler and Kunsu Shim in California
(April 22 ­ May 1, 2005)

Gerhard Stäbler and Kunsu Shim traveled to California for a two-week workshop at the Sonoma Academy and four concerts in San Francisco, Santa Rosa, and Santa Cruz. The two composers were invited by the Pacific Rim Music Festival and the Rabble Fish Theater to visit the western states of the US from mid-April to early May along with two members of the EarPort Ensemble: percussionist Dirk Rothbrust and accordion player Janne Rättyä. The main focus of the concerts and workshops fell on the two composers, who have been working together for more than 15 years. Although their music is based on a wide range of cultures, they create their performances jointly and have increasingly co-written joint compositions over the last five years. The performance program was augmented with references to fluxus artists such as Nam June Paik and George Brecht.
Stäbler and Shim constantly attempt to goad their audiences' imagination and to sensitize their ears and other senses to new and unexpected perceptions and ideas. Accordingly, the highly regarded concerts centered on various simultaneous performances, e.g. Stäbler's hyacinths-liquids.scents for tuned bottles, liquids, and aromas, in combination with Shim's good-bye paradise for plants, Stilleben? for one performer and wie ein Gesicht, wie eine Straße ... ein Geräusch for accordion. Another item was Hommage à Nam June Paik, a medley of performances by both composers. Audiences everywhere responded with enthusiasm, especially at the Pacific Rim Music Festival, given that the performances offered a fresh and up-to-date counterpoint to the otherwise slightly academic chamber music emanating from the Pacific Coast states over the last few years.
The concerts were supported by the German General Consulate and the Goethe Institute in San Francisco, the San Francisco Art Institute, the Rabble Fish Theater (Sonoma County) and Michael Friedenberg (Santa Rosa).

Special Adviser for Cultural Exchange 2005: sho player Mayumi Miyata is presently touring Europe with new pieces by composers Gerhard Stäbler and Kunsu Shim on behalf of The Japan Foundation
(February 26 / 27, 2005)

Mayumi Miyata has been nominated "Special Adviser for Cultural Exchange 2005" by The Japan Foundation. Thus she is presently in Europe for concerts, new pieces by composers Gerhard Stäbler and Kunsu Shim with her. The world famous virtuoso is presenting traditional and modern music for sho, a typical Japanese instrument. Concerts take place in Greece, Italy, France, Germany, and Luxembourg. Sho is a mouth organ, a wind instrument made of several bamboo pipes. It has been frequently used in East and South East Asia for more than 3000 years. In Japan sho has been being played as part of orchestral music at court (Gagaku) until today. It’s delicate and celestial and at the same time cluster sounds are basic elements of this ceremonial music. Mayumi Miyata is among the first who enhanced the potentials and the use of sho. An extremely skilled player, she developed a modern type of sho and made it well-known worldwide at the highest stage. Inspired by instrument and musician, Gerhard Stäbler and Kunsu Shim each composed a new piece. On her concert tour throughout Europe, Mayumi Miyata is giving debut performances of these compositions in several countries: Shim’s not I but the wind and Stäbler’s ...unter Glas vergessen... are both written for sho and violin and being played by Mayumi Miyata and Japanese violonist Tomoko Kiba. At the opening of the exhibition "Jaume Plensa" in the "Wilhelm Lehmbruck Museum" in Duisburg, Mayumi Miyata is also performing Gerhard Stäbler’s new sho composition Spectre specifically designed for this occasion. Apart from that, she is playing a significant role in Kunsu Shim’s performance Orte for sho, action, and electronic sounds. Apart from traditional music for sho and works by John Cage, Toshio Hosokawa and others, Mayumi Miyata is presenting some more pieces by Gerhard Stäbler when touring Europe, f.e. Palast des Schweigens for sho solo and KARAS.KRHEN which is a music for tape accompanied by sho, double bass, and a vocalist. Palast des Schweigens is released on cd by Wergo (2056-2 [edition zkm 6]) and Koch-Schwann (3-6760-2). A height of the Miyata tour, undoubtedly, is the world premiere of the most recent Stäbler piece for ensemble: Purple Rugs, a piece for sho solo, clarinet, violin, viola, cello, and marimba. The Luxembourg ensemble United Instruments of Lucilin are playing the piece for the first time on Feb 25th in Bourglinster in Luxembourg and on Feb 26th in the Cultural Centre Neumünster/Luxembourg-Grund.

New publications
(December, 2004)

Over the course of 2004 several new publications by Stäbler appeared in the realm of print and discography, featuring his works and texts. His piece Wirbelsäulenflöte for piano, bass-Clarinet, voices, conducting performer and 3 objects by the sculptor Thomas Rother (percussion) from 1984 appeared in the German Music Council series "Music in Germany 1950 - 2000" in the context of "Experimental Music Theater: Instrumental Theater". In this piece Stäbler set the poem of the same title by Wladimir Majakowski to music. (BMG/RCA 74321 73650 2).
kalt·erhitzt - a paraphrase on the musical action for 113 grand pianos with the same title, for tape (2000/2003) can also be found in the comprehensive series "Music in Germany 1950 - 2000" under "Experimental Music Theater: Fluxus, Happening- Performance": an installation by the artist Norbert Bauer consisting of 113 grand pianos at the "Tuchfühlung 2" festival in Langenberg in the Rhineland in 2000 was the basis for a performance utilizing hands on keys, hammers, clubs and feet on the strings and body, accompanied by choirs, ensembles and the vocal artist Sigune von Osten. (BMG/RCA 74321 73652 2).
A 90 - page book also appeared, documenting contributions by musicologists, composers and members of the popular culture scene during a conference on the theme of "Music and Politics" which was organized by the Berlin society for New Music. Under the title ...weiße Räume erkunden... Stäbler presents cases where broadcasts of his political works were either victimized by censorship - as was the case with the WDR broadcast of drüber... or were almost deleted from the concert program. Examples of political content are also demonstrated based on the compositions ...strike the ear... for string quartet (1987/88), Gift.Gelb for electrified accordion, E-Bass and Tape (2002) and Journal 9´1119 for flutes, percussion, tape and scents (1996).

World Premiere in Tokyo
(December 26, 2004)

The Tokyo City Recital Hall will host the world premiere of Gerhard Stäbler's new work ]life[ Sappho-fragments for hichiriki and sho on December 26. Hitomi Nakamura (Hichiriki) and Mayumi Miyata (Sho) will present the composition in the context of a Hichiriki Recital Series. In addition, the composition solitude.consolation for hichiriki and sho by German-Korean composer Kunsu Shim will celebrate its premiere alongside further world premieres by Japanese composers. Furthermore Ms. Nakamura covers the gamut from modern music to traditional Japanese court music in her recital by including two Gagaku-pieces, one for Hichiriki solo and another for Hichiriki, Sho, and Ryuteki in her program.
The Hichiriki is a bamboo flute with a piercing, nasal sound, roughly 18 cm in length and a diameter of 1.5 cm. It has a one-octave range and is the most prevalent instrument in Gagaku music aside the mouth organ sho. The hichiriki with its razor-sharp tone often takes on the top voice on this music.

Performances for aficionados in Utrecht
(December 11, 2004)

MundStücke (MouthPieces) and FootPrints, which originated from the "Performances for Aficionados" concert series founded in 1999, will receive their premiere Netherlands performance. In these pieces, Stäbler explores ­ much like in two other pieces from this series, HandStreiche, EarPlugs, NasenTraum (HandStrokes, EarPlugs, NoseDreams) and AugenTanz (EyeDance) ­ musical and scenic possibilities of human extremities and sensory organs. In Footprints I & II the step combinations are written out, including the stomping and tapping noises to be produced. The MundStücke by contrast emerge from whispering sounds or asemantic syllables presented voiceless. Through the imaginative usage of different bocal positions Stäbler integrates scenic elements in the sense of Kagel's Instrumental Theater. Both pieces will be performed at the Nederlandse Muziekdagen under the Title "Throw Catch" by soprano Barbara Hannigan and percussionist Arnold Marinissen at the Muziekcentrum Vredenburg in Utrecht.

(November, 2004)

ARTIC - Texte aus der fröhlichen Wissenschaft, a very affectionately crafted art magazine from Frankfurt/Main, is publishing in its upcoming edition with the theme "voice" the essay KOM-VokalEssenz by Gerhard Stäbler, a CD accompanying the essay with works by the composer and the new composition AMTRACKS, an audioassemblage for seven vocalists that Gerhard Stäbler wrote for ARTIC. With Winter, Blumen and the Belfast Breakfast Songs interpreted by Christina Ascher this CD presents previously unpublished recordings. Gerhard Stäbler himself presents new versions of Rachengold ­ a solo-performance consisting mainly of gargling noises ­ and also for the first time the "secret score" Rosenkranz (1995). Together with the composition Wirbelsäulenflöte for piano, bass-clarinet, voices, a conducting performer and three objects by the Essen-based sculptor Thomas Rother (1984) and the well-known early work drüber... for eight active screamers, violoncello and tape (1972/73) the contributions on the CD allow a "glimpse" into Stäblers treatment of voice in the last thirty-odd years. The eighth ARTIC volume so far is anticipated to be available over the course of October.

Two world premieres in Saarbrücken and Düsseldorf
(November 12 ­ 14, 2004)

The world premiere of two chamber music pieces was held in Saarbrücken and Düsseldorf from November 12 through 14. The composition ]with what eyes[ for violin, french horn and organ was performed for the first time during the Saarbrücker Kammermusiktage. This work was inspired by Sappho's Fragments that were published in the Greek-English poetry anthology IF NOT, WINTER with translations by the American poet Anne Carson. Between single sounds syllables and words, lines and verses are transmitted over time that document a deep knowledge of human cohabitation's thorny path despite their thousands of years of erosion. Stäblers new composition was contrasted by Brahms' Horntrio as well as horn and violin sonatas by Beethoven. The concert was performed by Yamei Yu (Violin), XiaoMing Han (Horn) und Andreas Rothkopf (Organ). A concert commemorating the Japanese composer Seiichi Inagaki who passed away at the end of last year, was held at the Düsseldorf EKO Haus, featuring the world premiere of the monody blütenlos (blossomless) for soprano, flute, violin, cello and piano (or accordion). The composition, written in Duisburg in September 2004 and commissioned by the EKO - House of Japanese Culture (Düsseldorf) is based on the poem by the same title from the book Gesänge der Frühe (Songs of Earliness) by Hermann-Josef Röllicke. The evenings artists were Ingrid Schmithüsen (soprano), Carin Levine (flute), Geoffry Wharton (violin), Wolfgang Sellner (cello) und Kristi Becker (piano).

The composers Kunsu Shim and Gerhard Stäbler will participate several times in the "StadtLicht - LichtKunst" festival held in and around the Wilhelm Lehmbruck Museum in Duisburg starting on October 16, 2004. On the opening day of this diverse project which shall "contribute to the qualification of Light design in our cities" (curator Christoph Brockhaus, director of the Wilhelm Lehmbruck Museum foundation), Paulo Alvares (piano), Christina Ascher (voice), Kunsu Shim and Gerhard Stäbler (sound engineering) will present Gerhard Stäblers new composition ...leaving the gold... for voice, piano and five CD-players (2004) simultaneously with Kunsu Shims inserting music II for tape. Stäblers exploration of maximum - speed - pitch repetition stands at the center of this work !? a musical essay on the limits of what is possible for piano and electronic sounds (2001) will set the frame for this world premiere, together with a piano etude by György Ligeti interpreted by Paulo Alvares.
In the Wilhelm Lehmbruck Museum's Kant park one can simultaneously experience works by Kunsu Shim and Gerhard StÄbler as well: the vernissage of the Sound - Light - Installation "Kantpark Stage" that was developed in cooperation of both composers with the light artist Mischa Kuball and curated by Christoph Brockhaus with the aid of Katja Aßmann. With the world premiere of Intervention I for voice and electronic sounds (2004) Christina Ascher will ring in the beginning of the sound installation "Kantpark Stage" which can be heard and seen henceforth daily from noon to midnight until November 15. Kunsu Shim, who developed the basic concept behind the sound installation together with Gerhard Stäbler writes:

"Different sounds - often low, rich in overtones, pleasurable- appear and disappear from a great silence within the 12 - hour time stream and transform the Kant Stage into a space of repose, illuminate it - like light itself - audibly and invites one to connect with this location for a while and to disseminate into the vastness of inner space. Interventions again and again open windows into real spaces to remember, to reflect, to dream only to return to silence."

Madame la Peste - Premiere in Saarbrücken
(June / July, 2003)

Staatstheater Saarbrücken will present Gerhard Stäbler´s third music-theatre Madame la Peste (2001/2002) after its world premiere in Duisburg last year. Matthias Kaiser, director and dramaturge of the opera in Saarbrücken, wrote the libretto, which is based on two novels: On Edgar Allan Poes gothic novel "The decline of house Usher" from 1839, and on the polish writer Bruno Jasienskis futuristic novel "Plague in Paris" (1928).
The music theatre is dealing with the question, if "human" systems can be installed in a society. After the plague has murdered most people in Paris, some survivors in a prison try to establish a new "socialistic" system. In the end they fail, and the question remains, if a system without ideology is possible.

Staatstheater Saarbrücken June 15, 19, 26 2003, July 11, 13, 16., Stage-production: Elmar Fulda
