Errare

A concert for alphorn and stone xylophone

To wander; between home and the strange, the familiar and the unknown sounds from Roland Dahinden and Simon Berz wander in the  moraine hills, just as the numerous errastic stones in the glacial landscape.

Roland Dahinden's alphorn is made of the high-tech material carbon. It combines the opposites in the instrument itself. Simon Berz' slate stones from the French Alps, a stone xylophone, which is alienated electronicly with the use of contact microphones.

The audio designer Andrew Phillips sonicates with four speakers. The sounds come from North, South, East or West. The audience is invited wander in the to a sound environment.
