Worlds Connect: Hong Kong New Music Ensemble + Vertixe Sonora + Vid Veljak

“Tuck yourself in bed. Remember to take your shoes off! You can sleep for real.”

from the score of done for the day, composed by Pilar Miralles

Two international orchestras and a Croatian cellist will meet for the first time in Zagreb: prompted by broken ones, they forge new connections.

Vertixe Sonora Ensemble is a chamber ensemble connecting musicians from Galicia and Portugal. Together they create an open space for exchange, reflection and conversation about contemporary music. The members of the ensemble – sound and visual artists, jazz and classical musicians – are united by the desire to investigate new ideas through creative collaborations in a broader artistic context.

Hong Kong New Music Ensemble (HKNME) is one of the leading contemporary music ensembles in Asia, known for dynamic performances and innovative projects. Apart from concert halls, it also participates in educational programs, interdisciplinary collaborations, and research projects in cooperation with artists across the globe.

Vid Veljak started playing the cello at the age of 3, enrolled in the Academy of Music at 14, and at 23 became the leading cellist of the Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra. He is a co-founder of the NAE Collective and a member of the Synchronos Ensemble. He launched the project Resonance(s), devoted to recording works by Croatian composers for solo cello (and electronics), with the aim of promoting the music of the 20th and 21st centuries and encouraging new compositions. The project received a Porin, the Croatian music award, in 2022. He currently teaches at the Arts Academy in Split.

manτεία ( manteia )

manτεία (meaning prophecy or divination) is a new performance written and produced by MBow (Roberto Alonso Trillo and Peter Nelson) that examines how ancient practices of geomancy and divination relate to our desire to find meaning in AI. Apophenia is the human tendency to look for meaningful patterns in random patterns, from the shapes of clouds to the scratches in oracle bones, to the outputs of AI generators. As our cultures grapple with the rapid evolution of AI, manτεία returns us to the ancient quest to communicate with the transcendent, by looking for messages in clouds and melodies in noise. Premiering at Freespace West Kowloon on the 22nd of December 2024, manτεία uses a unique approach to artistic collaboration, where artists produce sculptures, compositions and virtual worlds that send signals to one another, linking them together into a chain of creation via a technical process known as "multimodal mapping". A giant mechanical sculpture will create an irregular heartbeat that drives a sculpture made of smoke. A costume provides a digital portal into another world, and an AI trained on classical texts of Chinese and European mythology tries to find meaning in these heartfelt gestures from young contemporary artists.

Special concert: Tan Dun at Guimet Museum

The famous Chinese composer and conductor Tan Dun, author of the remarkable music of the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, showcases his tremendous talent at the musée Guimet for a world premiere inspired by the Tang dynasty.

Transported by his exploration of the Mogao Caves in Jiuquan and by his research on the musical heritage of ancient China, the Chinese maestro creates an all-encompassing experience in which the stage installation and the pictures projected onto the screen behind the orchestra immerse the audience in the magical embrace of a mystical cave.

 

Programme:

In the first part, the orchestra will play instrumental and choreographic pieces found in the Mogao Caves and deciphered by Tan Dun.
Then, two one-act operas will be plated in Chinese and Sanskrit. The first one, The Deer of Nine Colours, is inspired by a Buddhist popular tale set in stone in the Mogao frescoes: A magical deer with a nine-color coat seal its fate by saving a drowning man. The second one, The Heart Sutra, tells the imaginary love story between two strangers who meets in the desert during their journey on the Silk Road.

HICCUP (Sound Forms 2024) at Tai Kwun Contemporary

  • Tai Kwun JC Contemporary (map)

Do hiccups control you, or do you control the hiccups? Does the artist control the artwork, or does the artwork perhaps control the artist? 

HICCUP—a festival of body and sound co-presented by Tai Kwun Contemporary, Contemporary Musiking Hong Kong (Sound Forms), and Per.Platform—will host an array of sonic art, live performances, and interactive installations.

Hiccups are involuntary actions taking place in the body, an uncontrolled and unexpected spasming of the diaphragm that results in sharp, rhythmic sounds. HICCUP has invited sound and performance artists from Hong Kong, Chongqing, Taipei, Bangkok, and Tokyo to present work juxtaposing both modes of artistic practice—performance art rooted in sound and sonic art rooted in performance. Will the differences and similarities in the artists’ creative thought processes be amplified? Will the audience experience any unexpected chemical reactions? 

HICCUP features fourteen artists in eight performances and one workshop; sound waves bounce off found objects and materials, generating vibrations that viewers affect, changing the soundscape as they walk through the space; reflect on the body’s conscious and unconscious “behaviours” and “actions” and the physical poetry that blurs their borders, infiltrating our perception of time and space.

Sounding Tomorrow (Hong Kong New Music Ensemble 15th Anniversary NME15)

NME15 Program:

F.A.C.E.S is a multimedia theatre composition that delves into the tensions that arise from the interaction of actors with visuals, sounds, and a chess game. Inspired by the “Game of The Century” (1956) during the Cold War– the famous match between Donald Byrne and a young Bobby Fischer. The work unfolds in two distinct realities: the cerebral, consisting of sound and visual elements, and the physical, featuring actors engaging with chess pieces. As the tension escalates, these realities intertwine, blurring the lines between thought and action, culminating in a dramatic denouement.

shadow mudras with Ken Ueno

shadow mudras with Ken Ueno

On October 15, Freesound and Arraymusic Co-present an exciting evening of music by Karen Yu and Ken Ueno.

Featuring music by Karen and Ken, performed by the composers, and joined by Jason Doell, this is an exciting opportunity to hear amazing sounds from some of the most exciting composers working today.

With the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, the Toronto Arts Council, the SOCAN Foundation, Arraymusic, the Canadian Music Centre, and Society Clubhouse.

Both Noise Box Cantos and Shadow Mudras were developed collaboratively by Ken Ueno and Karen Yu recently as reaction to their experience being pitted in improvisative situations against a collective of modular synthesizer players. After a critical mass of a few modular synth players is reached, it is hard to discern the individual contributions of each performer. Outnumbered in such a context, Ueno and Yu, felt alienated and determined that such performance contexts were at odds with the core values of their respective performance practices as a vocalist and percussionist.

"Scoring Motion" Research Residency at the Seoul Dance Center

Together with Lawrence Lau, Joseph Lee and Karen Yu, the artistic trio is invited to the Seoul Dance Center for a two-week residency to share their on-going research on the notion of scoring as a tool for cross-disciplinary collaboration and creation over the past few years, and to conduct a co-research process, with the participation of the local artists, on how scoring is also a multifaceted tool to review their own artistic practice and to understand the artistic practice of others.

During the residency, the trio aims to initiate dialogues with the local performing arts community and share their approaches to choreography, composition, improvisation and performance. By doing so, to learn and explore how this methodology can be adopted as a creative tool for performance-making, conversations and idea exchanges in a different cultural context. 

There are three major events for different groups of participants. Upon arrival, an Artist Talk will be hosted to introduce the artist trio, their experience in cross-disciplinary collaboration and individual’s artistic practice, as well as getting to know the practitioners in the local performing arts scene. Followed by a 3-day workshop for performance-makers to explore and create through the designed scoring exercises, which leads to the final presentation. Titled Scoring Motion: Three Days, Three Mediums, Three Minutes, an exhibition involving demonstration and presentation will be held at the end of the residency at Seoul Dance Center to conclude the experience by sharing our findings and to showcase the works created by the participating artists, along with future developments of this project.
