Hashtag Ensemble to perform concerts of Rafał Zapała’s music in California
Hashtag Ensemble will perform two monographic concerts of Rafał Zapała’s music (as part of a Fulbright scholarship) in California’s electroacoustic music centers: November 17, 2021 at 8:00 PM at The Center for New Music and Audio Technologies at University of California (Berkeley) and November 19 at 7:30 PM at The Stanford University Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics.
The aim of this research and artistic project is the theory of a new, mediated through technological tools, form of open composition (Real-time Interactive System for Non-linear Music Composition and Performance). The idea of participatory, open forms has been investigated by the composer for a long time and most of his compositions realize it in various ways. The internship in Berkeley is a culmination of this path. The project received the Fulbright Senior Award 2021.
The Hashtag Ensemble in California’s electroacoustic music centers during the concert “Introverts’ Collective” will perform four works by Zapała:
Judge Me Again (2020, version for flute and l.elx),
Futility (2020),
Scrolling to Zero (2018, version for synthesizers)
and will give the world premiere of Introverts’ Collective (2021).
The concerts will take place thanks to funding from the Adam Mickiewicz Institute.
The concerts will take place with audience participation, will be broadcast and available on the YouTube channels of both institutes.
