Claudia Molitor: The Open Fund for Music Creators
For:
Walking with Partch
‘Walking with Partch’ will be a one hour performance installation for the Cologne based ensemble MusikFabrik to be premiered at the 2016 Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival. In 2012, Musikfabrik set out to re-build the American composer Harry Partch’s unique micro-tonal instruments; and for their continuing ‘pitch 43_tuning the cosmos’ project have commissioned new works by European composers for these impressive instruments in order to give them a life beyond historic reconstruction.
Claudia Molitor is a composer/artist whose work draws on traditions of music and sound art but also extends to video, performance and fine art practices. Exploring the relationships between listening and seeing as well as embracing collaboration as compositional practice is central to this work. Her work is regularly commissioned, performed and broadcast throughout Europe. Recent work includes Sonorama with Electra Productions, Turner Contemporary and the British Library, Vast White Stillness for Spitalfields Festival and Brighton Festival, and 2TwoLO for NMC’s ‘Objects of an Exhibition’ project with the Science Museum.
