Ein Jahr ist der erste Corona-Shutdown nun her. Auch die zeitgenössische Musik trat damit in einen dauerhaften Ausnahmezustand. Aber es war nicht alles schlecht: Im Rahmen des SRF-Schwerpunkts «Mutig in die Zukunft. Geschichten vom Gelingen» blickt «Musik unserer Zeit» nach vorn und zurück. Welche innovativen Formate sind in einem Jahr mit Corona entstanden? Wie klingen sie? Und werden sie die zeitgenössische Musik nachhaltig verändern?

Mit: Dicky Bahto, Philip Bartels, Erika Bell, Claire Chase, Luc Döbereiner, Andreas Eduardo Frank, Morgan Gerstmar, Ione, Simone Keller, Raquel Acevedo Klein, Martin Lorenz, Jessie Marino, Michel Roth und Stephanie Smith.

Les Métaboles

I. luminous frictions
II. disolvence
III. melting
IV. vertical crepuscles
V. murmurs and dark sighs / caresses on the ice wall

A whisper grazes a horizontal wall of ice separating two rooms.
Cracks begin to grow slowly and simultaneously.
In the upper room, suspended time is illuminated by a glow of
lava in the sky, which gradually melts and expands.
Regardless of that temporality, whispers persistently caress the wall.
In the lower room, time is stretched, dilated, and gelatinous.
Ever ything is dark except for a spherical light radiating from the
ceiling/ice wall as a reflection of lava in the upper room.
From here, whispers sound like murmurs stirring the dark water.
The cracks are on the verge of breaking through the ice, at the peak of tension.
W hen the collapse occurs, water and suspended time mix in a multidirectional expansion.
Both times converge and the water faces head-on the whispers of the other side.
