New Projects

		Wolfgang Mitterer is a man of many parts. He is widely known well beyond the borders of Austria as an energetic and uninhibited improviser on synthesiszers and small instruments, both with avantgarde and jazz partners or solo. As an organist he has a command of the main repertoire as well as a new approach to his instrument. And last but not least, he is an orchestral composer whose scores are full of the graphic inventions of the Sixties and beyond, and which have been performed at Europe's leading festivals. For aAmplify he has done a miniature of Kalimba, or so called "bush piano", improvisation.
		Simeon Pironkoff is a composer who has created a body of very dense and challenging music. His scores invoke the principle of ultra-virtuosity, yet it is a virtuosity which at first listening may seem accidental. Only when we realise that his fresh approach to sound is something that can be repeated performance after performance do we understand how challenging this music is for the players. Also delightful in Pironkoff is his play with deconstructed "Gebrauchsmusik" and his oscillation between abstract and pulsating rhythm.
