ABOUT CONFLUENCES#1

Trio Abstrakt: Confluences is an immersive chamber music experience. Three world premieres by three composers/sound artists with diverse musical backgrounds are connected by collaboratively composed interludes, creating a cohesive work.

The program features new works by composers Rachel C. Walker (USA), Kristofer Svensson (SWE), and sound artist Johanna Sulalampi (FIN), who explore the possibilities of collective composition during the creative process. They work to blur the boundaries between the individual pieces, and consequently investigate how this also blurs the lines between the individual and the collective—both in the working process and in the reception of the overall work.

Confluences premiered on September 27th 2024 at Kunststation St. Peter Köln and was subsequently presented at festival Klangzeit Münster
