15.30 FOSS/HALLBÄCK/PESTANA 'Non-consensual Love Parade'
World Premiere
The world premiere of a new collaboration between the Portuguese computer music composer, Swedish techno/club sweetheart, and classically-trained American contrabassist is a SHAPE+ commission.
Hallbäck is a Malmö native with worldwide recognition in underground electronic music, first as Grovskopa and then as the Editions Mego-released Rivet. Foss is the preeminent contrabassist who trained at Yale and under Boulez, and is now a tenured member of the Malmö Symphony Orchestra. Pestana works within the aura of experimental electronic music, but proposes a new contextualization of traditional folklore and instruments while exploring a deep need for meaning within sound.
Together, the trio’s intriguing new composition is performed entirely live and draws on Pestana’s mystic minimalist pieces infused with pointillist epic-MIDI-collage, Foss’ world-class bass performance, and Hallbäck’s post-rave melodicism and production prowess. While each artist has unique talents, they share a love of rave music and culture, and as such, recognize its influence as ever-present, even in a more ‘high-brow’ setting. Hence the title – a reference to Germany’s infamous electronic music street party – reminding us that even when you aren’t in the rave, the rave is in you.
