Eruptions for ensemble and computer sounds (WP)

Iancu Dumitrescu is one of the leading personalities of contemporary music, embracing both composition and interpretation.
He centers his work on the phenomenological principle, which Sergiu Celibidache made him to discover, and which Dumitrescu applies to the composition itself, and on the idea of acousmatics. Acousmatics represents for Dumitrescu not only « the art of disguising a sonic source » in a concrete approach, but the very metaphor of the sound, infinite, cryptical alchemy applied to the sound material.

Info

Tectonics is a Music Festival curated by Ilan Volkov, proudly presented by Iceland Symphony Orchestra at Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavík 10-12 April 2014. How can an orchestra, the nineteenth-century beast, be more radical and experimental? Is it possible? This is one of the questions that started the journey that led to the first Tectonics festival in Reykjavík. Tectonics features programmes of classical modern music combined with other new music genres such as improvisation, electronics and rock. In 2014 Tectonics will take place in five different cities- Reykjavik with Iceland Symphony,Glasgow with BBC Scottish Symphony,Adelaide with Adelaide Symphony,NY at Issue Project Room and Tel-Aviv with the Israeli Contemporary Players.
