The concert at a glance
Description
Surround Sound – this popular concert format lets the audience come very close to the musicians. There is a lot to see: The five string players from Wooden Elephant as well as Mathias Halvorsen on the prepared piano create the hallucinatory sounds of Aphex Twin’s electronica album »Drukqs« (2001) on their instruments – a feverish dream of complex beats.
