Presented at PACT by the NOW! festival for new music, ›Zwei-Mann-Orchester‹ (Two-Man- Orchestra) is surely one of the strangest yet most original pieces of contemporary music ever composed. When it was premiered at the Donaueschingen Festival in 1973, its creator, the German- Argentinian composer Mauricio Kagel (1931–2008) surprised his mystified audience with a gigantic contraption pieced together from more than 200 broken, battered and discarded instruments and dysfunctional sound-generators played by just two musicians with the aid of strings, rods, levers and all manner of other movable elements.
Performed by Wilhelm Bruck & Matthias Würsch
Composition: Mauricio Kagel Performers: Wilhelm Bruck, Matthias Würsch Presented by: Stiftung Zollverein in cooperation with PACT Zollverein Support: Kunststiftung NRW
