Phillip Sollmann, Glitch
The contemporary music ensembles Spat’sonore (Nantes) and Musikfabrik (Cologne) join forces to perform a piece by German composer Phillip Sollmann in a unique immersive setting. Glitch invites the audience to take their seats amidst a forest of brass instruments played by twelve musicians. Strings and percussion join in to create a musical epic that questions our era, evoking both nature in peril and the spectre of technological surveillance.
