Schönberg series. LIVE ELECTRONICS. Hans-Gunter Lock, Andrus Kallastu

Hans-Gunter Lock (violin, percussion, electronics)
Andrus Kallastu (piano, percussion, electronics)

LIVE ELECTRONICS is a direct dialogue between acoustic instruments and electronics. The composers Hans-Gunter Lock and Andrus Kallastu create a soundscape in real time in which structure is interwoven with improvisation. The concert focuses on the birth of sounds in the moment, on transformation and on space, making for a live, unrepeatable and risky listening experience.

Hans-Gunter Lock (1974) was born in Halle an der Saale, Germany. He has lived and worked in Estonia since 2000. His output consists mainly of electronic and electroacoustic music, chamber works and film music. In his work he has repeatedly turned to the synthesis of the arts, exploring ways of combining light, video, text, movement and sound, and the use of interactive means. Experimental pursuits also have a firm place in his work, and he has collaborated widely with performance and multimedia artists.

Andrus Kallastu (1967) studied at the Tallinn Conservatory and the Sibelius Academy and works as a freelance composer and conductor. His output can be divided into two periods, before and after 1991. The works of the first period are marked by a free atonal language, motoric, often ostinato rhythm and a neoclassical approach to sound; those of the second by serial texture, field technique, non-pulsing rhythm and a sound that probes the borders between musical tone and noise. Several of Kallastu’s works show an interest in combining music with other art forms and in performance.
