Shout, sound, knock and jump – everyday scores

Can a musician walk on stage avoiding his or her “theatricalism”? Can he or she be carried on stage motionless in order to avoid any nonmusical gesture? But gestures create sound! Gestures of fingers, diaphragm, tongue... Are all elements apart from actual playing irrelevant and should remain unacknowledged gestures or sighs? Music is only one element of the musician’s holistic actions, resulting from what he or she did before the concert and shall do afterwards. The moment of focusing on sound happens in a space in which “everything” happens—so what is really music and sound?

That question is answered by “scores of everydayness,” which by consciously justifying the “natural multimedia” in space, look for the notion of “sound structure.” Michał Górczyński plays the clarinet, speaks, moves in given directions, and interacts with objects in a way determined and described in the score. He becomes a sort of master of ceremony, announcing the works of Juan Manuel Abras, Maciej Jabłoński, Dominik Strycharski, Henrik Ehland Rasmussen, Alejandro Franco Briones, and Carl Bergstrøm-Nielsen.
