ADAPT/OPPOSE
Graphic Arrays For Musical Interaction
|
Burkhard Beins hat mit Adapt/Oppose ein graphisches Bezugssystem entwickelt, das lediglich die Art der Kommunikationsverläufe innerhalb einer
Gruppe vorgibt, das jeweilige musikalische Material, Dynamik und Zeitdauern jedoch bewusst offen lässt. Die Spieler sollen sich an vorgegebenen
Stellen auf jeweils definierte Weise zu gespieltem Material verhalten, aber auch immer wieder selbstgewähltes neues Material setzen. Durch ihre
jeweiligen Entscheidungen innerhalb des musikalischen Spielprozesses gestalten sie somit sukzessive den Gesamtverlauf der jeweils aufgeführten Version.
With Adapt/Oppose Burkhard Beins has developed a graphic reference system which only targets the ways of communication within a group,
but deliberately leaves open all musical material, dynamics and duration. At certain points the players shall relate to a played material
in defined ways, but repeatedly also introduce new material of their own choice. By their respective decisions throughout the musical process
of playing the players are successively shaping the overall progression of each performed version.
A first version of Adapt/Oppose had been developed in 2006 for the Masterclass 'Experimental Music' held by Sascha Armbruster,
Burkhard Beins and Orm Finnendahl as part of the 3rd Summer Academy of Music, Schloss Königs Wusterhausen (near Berlin). Later it has been also performed by
7 participating students in the following Masterclass concert at Maerzmusik Berlin, March 2007.
In the course of time the principles of Adapt/Oppose have been developed, extended, and also used in several workshops.
