Bumblebee Flight
The world record for the interpretation of Rimsky-Korsakov’s “ Bumblebee Flight “ is currently 53.82 seconds – that is 13 notes per second. The Chuchchepati Orchestra with its eight loudspeakers now tries to beat this record with the slowest interpretation of the piece. In an installative concert series, only one bar of the composition is interpreted per performance. Slow motion instead of acceleration, a homage to the endangered world of insects. In the concert, field recordings of the collective creatures interweave with the instruments of the music collective. Patterns, structures and surfaces are created that complement and fertilise each other. The Chuchchepati Orchestra swarms out and takes off in the octaphonic space above the blooming playground.

Bumblebee Flight (Hummelflug)
Der Weltrekord bei der Interpretation des “Hummelflugs“ von Rimski-Korsakow liegt derzeit bei 53.82 Sekunden – das sind 13 Noten pro Sekunde. Das Chuchchepati Orchestra mit seinen acht Lautsprechern versucht diesen Rekord nun mit der langsamsten Interpretation des Stückes zu unterbieten. In einer installativen Konzertserie wird pro Aufführung jeweils nur ein Takt der Komposition interpretiert. Slow motion statt Akzeleration, eine Hommage an die vom Aussterben bedrohte Welt der Insekten. Im Konzert verweben sich Feldaufnahmen der kollektiven Lebewesen mit den Instrumenten des Musikkollektivs. Es entstehen Muster, Strukturen und Flächen, welche sich gegenseitig ergänzen und befruchten. Das Chuchchepati Orchestra schwärmt aus und hebt ab im oktaphonen Raum über der blühenden Spielwiese.

The installations as a composition
The different installations of the loudspeakers promise a varied distribution of the music in the room. The loudspeakers become members of the orchestra and influence the listening habits and playing style of the other musicians. The easy to assemble and dismantle installation also forms a corresponding stage setting.

The Chuchchepati Orchestra is interested in open forms in music, social issues, unknown spaces, new forms of communication, personal and collective challenge and development and finally in the situation „in the collective in concert“.

The new orchestra installs its music in (public) space. The ambience is accessible and communicative. The audience is part of the real-time soundtrack and thus also part of the orchestra; an interplay of applied music and sound installation.
