Friendly Takeover 9 – Stanislas Pili

Between 1967 and 1970, Mauricio Kagel wrote the nine books of the famous music theatre «Staatstheater», which is often referred to as «anti-opera». The sixth book is «Spielplan» consisting of 42 graphic pages describing how to create sounds with a collection of prepared objects and recycled materials often amplified with contact microphones. Although these pages are more than 50 years old, they are still relevant today and they show a new state of mind in the way of making music. In the past «Spielplan» was used almost only for staged versions of «Staatstheater», however Kagel proposed also, on the score, a concertante version of the book. In this research project, perhaps for the first time, the public can discover all the pages of «Spielplan», exploring the eclectic sonic world imagined by Kagel.
