Zeitkratzer
Friday 16 September 8pm
£5 / £3 concs
The German ensemble Zeitkratzer is characterized by its musicians' diverse solo careers (The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Element of Crime, Ensemble Modern, Lou Reed...). They turn their backs on the common repertoire of the past century and play in parks, at festivals for contemporary music, in rock clubs and opera houses, at theatres and dance performances. Over a hundred artists coming from different genres have worked with the ensemble since its foundation in 1997. The collaboration's impressive diversity includes Merzbow, Terre Thaemlitz, Lee Ronaldo (Sonic Youth) and Lou Reed, as well as Sascha Waltz, Lisa D, Helmut Oehring or Elliott Sharp. Zeitkratzer will make their UK debut in the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2005.
Paul Panhauysen and Steve Roden play the Pavilion.
Friday 23 September 8pm
£8
Paul Panhuysen (1934, Borgharen) studied painting and monumental design. In 1968, he founded the Maciunas Quartet, who are still making experimental music as the Maciunas Ensemble. Through the use of systematic structures, often based on number systems, such as Fibonacci series mathematical proportion, such as the golden section, his works explore the possibility of visual and architectural music. Panhuysen has presented his Long String Installations worldwide since 1982. They utilize the specific properties and architectural possibilities of the location. For this performance he will string-up and play the pavilion.
