ignm Basel «EYÉO – Neue transkulturelle Musik für Kanun und Streichquartett»

Sonar Quartett, Sofia Labropoulou

In collaboration with the Greek kanunist Sofia Labropoulou, the Sonar Quartett is developing new commissioned works by Dimitri Papageorgiou and Stefan Pohlit, as well as its own framework programme that continues to spin the aesthetic directions of the compositions at the boundaries of improvisation. Against the background of the arithmetic tradition of the Aegean region, the focus is now on the development of a microtonal playing practice to which the modern kanun (descendant of the Pythagorean monochord) goes back.
With Sofia Labropoulou, the ensemble focuses on a personality who has translated the musical heritage of the European and Aegean musical tradition into a living practice. Papageorgiou's and Pohlit's completely different perspectives are flanked within the programme by a separate improvisation laboratory, which transforms the purely subjective perspectives of the compositional styles in the mirror of the ensemble's equally subjective «culture of interaction».
The framework programme is also based in parts on composed works of the Turkish makam tradition, which the ensemble arranges and alienates independently before becoming independent with the theoretical foundations of the arithmetic tradition.
