Soundwall
– a social performance, in Trier
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.
"auf
dem wasser, ein gesicht" 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 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. May 7 2005

Gerhard
Stäbler and Kunsu Shim in California
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. April 22, 2005

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 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 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).
World
Premiere in Tokyo 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. Further information in Japanese writing can be found at: www.tvumd.com/concerts/file/041226.htm December 26, 2004, Tokyo City Recital Hall: Hichiriki-Recital. Series Reed Wind No. 3
Performances
for aficionados in Utrecht 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. December 11th 2004: Muziekcentrum Vredenburg, Utrecht
“von
hier aus. Basel - Raum Klang Tanz" Dancer and choreographer Eva Weissmann presented "von hier aus. Basel - Raum Klang Tanz," her new project, in Basle. Weissmann, together with four dancers, the saxophonist Felix Probst and double bassist Laurent Charles developed "Visions of Space, Motion and Silence" to Stäbler's composition elements (acute) created in 1999/2000 at the ZKM (Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie). Four musical layers breathing, blazing, flowing and grounded served as basis for live-performances and were specifically defined and accentuated for the Basle performance spaces with the participation of Gerhard Stäbler. The performance took place on Tuesday, November 30 in the Tresorraum of the Gerbergasse 30 as part of the series "Forum für improvisierte Musik & Tanz, Basel." For further information: www.fimbasel.ch und www.wearewe.de.
ARTIC
- an art magazine with an essay, a new composition and a CD with
hitherto unpublished works by Gerhard Stäbler 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. For more information: www.artic-magazin.de
Two
world premieres in Saarbrücken and Düsseldorf 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).

Installations
and Performances at "Stadtlicht - Lichtkunst" in Duisburg 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. "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." Overview of events:

Radiofeature
by Christoph Wagner Different wooden mouth-organs were used in traditional Asian music. In Japan the Sho was played by virtuos interpreters, in China the Sheng became famous. Christoph Wagner is going to deal with traditional aspects but will examine the reception of these fascinating instruments in contemporary western music as well: the rock-formations Aerosmith and Cranberries and the composers John Cage or Gerhard Stäbler integrated Asian music-tradition in their works. Stäbler composed his Cassandra-study Palast des Schweigens for Sho in 1992/93 and in 1994/95 he wrote Karas.Krähen for tape, voice, sho, doublebass and drums. Mayumi Miyata recorded these works on a wonderful CD. (Wergo, Edition ZKM 282 056 - 2) SWR 2, Juni 18 (Wednesday) 2003, 22.05

Irish
premiere of Karas.Krähen In Karas.Krähen
Stäbler connected themes from Asian mythology with threatening dangers
of modern civilization. Ten suns existed in ancient china, nine of them
were shot down by the legendary archer Yi. After that a crow beared the
tenth sun. From the modern civilizations point of view the function of
this crow has become quite negative: temperatures on earth are rising
dramatically, our "artificial suns", the atombomb and nuclear power
stations are threatening. Here the crow is not a positive life spender
but more a "bringer of death". Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, November 17
