TRAVELS / EXPOSITION OF NEW MUSIC

LONG Roads, world premiere

The world premiere of the multimedia solo project of composer, percussionist and creator of experimental musical instruments Dan Dlouhé (aka Dama Dama, leader of the Central European Percussion Ensemble DAMA DAMA). It presents a number of aspects of his work - the performance moves between a music-visual installation and a bizarre theater performance with excerpts of the author's compositions for acoustic and electro-acoustic musical instruments live and from recordings, using a sounding object, texts, images, voices and video components, sometimes co-created by artificial intelligence - all connected by the author's solo performance. The theme is an exploration of interfaces between different musical and intellectual worlds: "live" and technical, expressive and emotionless, moving and static, original and copy. The project was commissioned by the New Music Exhibition on the occasion of the Year of Czech Music 2024.
