Visual Music Theatre created and performed by NoiseFold and Trio KAZE
The Autopoetic Theatre is an interdisciplinary collaboration that pairs NoiseFold (USA) with the acoustic instrumental ensemble, Trio KAZE (NL/DE), an acclaimed group of musicians adept in medieval, renaissance, baroque and contemporary idioms. The project takes the form of an instrumental song cycle illuminating a series of relational dialogues between diverse technologies, artistic mediums and historical epochs. This visual-music hybrid combines theatrical staging, electronic music and interactive visualization technology with contemporary and historic instrumental techniques drawn from the 15th through 21st centuries. With a focus on the poetic proto-science of Alchemy, the music evokes a soundscape of elemental power wedded to a fluid abstract visual vocabulary emulating chthonic undercurrents, natural transformative processes and apocalyptic visions.
The music for the movements are co-composed by NoiseFold and Trio Kaze unless otherwise noted below.
