Songs my grandfather could have sung to me
Songs that could have been in different versions, as Miika remembers them
"Mytomato is a brilliant piece, dancing away on the borders of parody and multi-layered commentary – musical and extra-musical – all woven together with witty irony and creative craziness."
"Die grafische Notationstechnik Soune, an der der Komponist seit Jahren arbeitet, transzendiert durch ihre visuelle Komponenete die Grenzen traditioneller Notation und bietet Raum für humorvolle, tiefgründige und gleichzeitig körperliche Erlebnisse auf der Bühne. "
"Intellectually stimulating and teasingly funny art of our time."
"A peculiar, yet ever-so-wonderful mixture of absurd comedy and versatile virtuosity, gorgeously performed by Heikkilä and Kozlovski"
"This three-hour, precisely timed sound structure is a confusing, constantly moving deconstruction of language, voice and sound. […] The bizarre fascination that the spectacle has created will not get out of your head so quickly."
"Voice Box was full of tongue in cheek [...] that allowed the audience to fully join in."
"The avant-garde business trip to the green creates a situational border experience with a feel-good program."
"The audience […] experiences an masterfull musical performance, which is then deconstructed in an irritating sequence of events at different locations in a deliberately bizarre manner."
"Delightful and playful experimental opera from young Finnish composer"
"Genuinely avantgardistic German music theatre."
Phenomenological Notation is an installation-composition for two performers. It is not a static or ready composition, but more a loop of different actions of music:
1) The Performer reads the graphic score and decodes it
2) The Performer performs the music with his or her body
3) The program creates new notation out of these acts.
This game or play makes it audibly and visually clear that music (or art) is never something static, correct or final. Music is the communication between the composer and the score, between the score and performer, between the performer and body between the body and the audience and so on.
