Max Andrezejewski & Ensemble Resonanz "SUMMEN"
Germany
Max Andrzejewski - drums, vibraphon, composition
Streichquartett des Ensemble Resonanz:
Barbara Bultmann - Violine
Swantje Tessmann - Violine
Neasa Ní Bhriain - Viola
Lea Tessmann - Cello
Berlin-based percussionist Max Andrzejewski (well known in Saalfelden) playfully assembles the sums and hums of his pieces with the string-players of the elbphilharmonic Ensemble Resonanz. Based on note-like lines and dots seven-year-old Max drew on paper (affectionately titled "Opus 2" by his grandfather), the result is a whirring and stirring New Music that sensitively winds Andrzejewski's percussive improvisations around violins, viola, and cello. Taking his childhood self seriously, acknowledging his own development (from Hütte to TRAINING to theater music for the Berliner Ensemble and the Hamburg Thalia Theater), and admiring his daughter's joy of playing, the sum of these hums, as well as „Swarms“ I and I, despite their modernity, have a beguilingly familial quality.
