Sarah Nemtsov and the gigantic weight of life
Ute Pinter's open music concert series for contemporary music dedicated a special to the German composer Sarah Nemtsov. The Ensemble Phace presented five of her more than 150 compositions in the rehearsal room of the Mumuth in Graz.
It is fascinating music that makes the weight of the notes tangible: the open music portrait of the German composer Sarah Nemtsov, born in 1980, begins like a kind of musical brutalism in which unforgiving sounds form cool structures out of concrete.
In "Seven Colors", the ensemble Phace on cello, drums, electric bass and prepared piano cuts silhouettes in the rehearsal room of the Mumuth in Graz, forming a repellent expanse between the sound of industrial halls and silvery purring strings. This is followed by an unwelcome closeness when the fingers of solo percussionist Igor Gross become a thousand virtuoso beetle legs in "Bugs".
A game with strangeness and overwhelmingness unfolds, in which massive, shimmering violins stop playing and yet continue to sound ghostly in the overdubbing ("Kadosh"). Finally, a short film by Shmuel Hoffman and Anton von Heiseler, accompanied by music, shows nightmare scenes from a garbage dump in New Delhi: these are images of immense weight of life.
