Content

MUSIC IMMEDIATELY TRANSFORMS INTO SPACE – a vision that even ancient Greece already dreamed of. Thomas Stammer pursued this artistic motif since his project 9.81 – Music and Architecture. In 2001, an encounter with the Swiss percussionist and composer Michael Wertmüller in Los Angeles led to the idea of three-dimensional music visualization. Almost twenty years later, artist Albert Oehlen, along with Rainald Götz, provided the inspiration for the opera project with the book D • I • E  abstract reality (Holzwarth Publications, 2010). From this, the concept of JETZTSCHEIBE emerged for the conceptualization and performance of the opera D • I • E  at the Ruhrtriennale in September 2021.

JETZTSCHEIBE presents a deliberately heterogeneous collection of texts, emails with initial ideas, concepts, work reports, essays, photographs, and graphics, with the fundamental idea of exploring and shaping the deeper layers of time. The various moments and encounters create a rich thematic framework for the chapters of the book, allowing readers to trace the development of holographic music visualization and the opera project D • I • E.

The first of the 180cm long, 8-part accordion-fold inserts showcase the overall graphic concept of the opera and the evolution of musical visualization. The second photographic accordion-fold is an artistic adaptation of the opera’s spatial concept for the book medium, presenting the light sculptures and ensemble performance in a 360-degree space.

Pressezitate zur Oper D • I • E
bei der Ruhrtriennale im September 2021

“Abstract acoustic paintings bloom, are abruptly torn down, and wither away, and from the humus, something new seems to grow.”

DIE DEUTSCHE BÜHNE (ONLINE) 03.09.2021

“A swirling, interplanetary space opens up, pixels taking on various shapes, sound bodies and syllables emerging and fading in contrasting alternation. Sometimes they seem to chase each other, interlock, or collide with a bang. About 90 minutes of uninterrupted, overwhelming, emotional intensity.”

KLASSIK.COM, 02.09.2021

„This total work of experimental art is completed by the holographic visualizations of Albert Oehlen’s abstractions, which provide an optical counterpart to every musical turn, explosion, slowdown, or acceleration. Living, ever-changing abstractions following the motto ‚Sound becomes an image here!‘ Or vice versa?“                                          

Concerti.de (Online) 05.09.2021

“These images are insane…an evening that thrilled me for 90 minutes.”

DLF Kultur, Stefan Keim, 03.09.2021
