Meetings of Two Tectonic Plates
Tuesday, June 19, 2012
For this New Sounds, listen to some of the remarkable and unexpected collaboration between concert violinist and improviser Hilary Hahn & the German composer and keyboard player, Hauschka. They perform for us works for violin and prepared piano, based on their record, "Silfra," which was named for the crack in Iceland between the American and Eurasian continents where the continental plates meet and drift apart about 2cm per year. Interestingly, these live performances are different from the ones on "Silfra," because all of the pieces are improvised.

Visual Music
Philip Glass’s opera “Kepler,” about the German astronomer and mathematician who identified the elliptical orbits of our solar system, was written expressly for Landestheater Linz and Linz09. Glass based his compelling and complex score on the astronomer’s conviction that “without genuine knowledge life is dead.” On this New Sounds, we’ll hear selections from “Kepler” along with music from the Alloy Orchestra.
