It was a longer journey but finally we managed that Levon Eskenian’s Gurdjieff Folk Instrument Ensemble will arrive at the HOLLAND FESTIVAL in Amsterdam.
 
 
Next Sunday, june 7, the ensemble will play two concerts with music of Gurdjieff and also Soghomon Soghomonian in Amsterdam. Part of the afternoon concert is a recital by pianist Lusine Grigoryan She will play pieces by Komitas she recently recorded in Lugano for ECM.
 
 
There are two PREVIEW radio programs on CONCERTZENDER. Both can be listened ON DEMAND by just two clicks. You’ll find a playlist under the RADIO ON DEMAND link:
 
program GURDJIEFF
 
program KOMITAS
 
The Gurdjieff pieces in the radio program will slowly shift from piano and cello versions to the reconstructed folk (instrument’s) version. The Komitas program presents renditions by various musicians including great Armenian composer Tigran Mansurian. Komitas was a great composer deserving more attention.
 
 
Only text, no picture here … and wonderful music … if you want!

Bill Domonkos durchleuchtet die (Ab)gründe unserer Psyche mit seinen animierten Photos. Beim Ansehen kann so einiges passieren. Man kann dabei glatt die Zeit vergessen, aus der Zeit fallen. Sie sind im .gif-Format hergestellt, weswegen man die Animationen hier nicht erleben kann.
 
 
 

 
 
 
Um die animatorischen Eingriffe erleben zu können, muss man Domonkos Website HIER besuchen oder auf Vimeo HIER seine Kurzfilme angucken.

Die Musik zu dem KurzFilm L O G O S HIER ist von dem portugiesischen Bassisten Hugo Carvalhais, der ähnliche Gefilde klanglich durchflimmert. Gerade erschienen bei dem bekannten Lissabonner Clean Feed Label HIER.
