Drawing from an elaborate installation of acoustic instruments—pendelstrings, hardwood and granite stone rows, viola, voice, soprano timpani, cymbals and a variety of tube, metal and snare drums—Limpe Fuchs will transform her stage into a sanctuary for sound.
About
Through a series of spontaneous improvisations and studied compositions, interactive demonstrations of her instruments and scheduled workshops for players both trained and untrained, her presence will foster a fertile web of feedback between different people and musicians in contact with their own instruments or with hers.
As part of her Prismatic Park residency, Limpe Fuchs will lead a series of workshops in the park, four in total (October 3-6 at 3 PM). These will be rare opportunities to directly enter her unique sonic universe. Participants are invited to bring their own instruments or use Fuchs’ own self-made percussion instruments (lithophone, stringed pendulum drums, assorted drums). Fuchs will break players into small groups and facilitate guided improvisations and listening exercises (she calls these “communicative arrangements”), adding her own voice, viola, wooden horn, or bamboo flute. Participants of all levels of musical experience are invited to register, and are invited to take part in Fuchs’ final Prismatic Park performance on Sunday, October 8th. Rehearsals for Sunday’s performance will be from 2-4 and workshops are limited to 10 participants so please RSVP in advance to secure a spot.
