IN SITU: INTERMEDIA COLLABORATION

Intermedia Collaboration – percussion, electronics, video, gestures, performance

coached by Pierre Jodlowski and Christian Dierstein

with participants of the impuls Academy 2025

Renowned composer and interdisciplinary artist Pierre Jodlowski tutors this year at impuls. His music, at the crossroads of acoustic and electric sound, is characterised by dramatic and political weight. Christian Dierstein in turn has established himself among the most interesting performers in the contemporary music of our time, not only as the percussionist of ensemble recherche and Trio Accanto, but also as a solo performer.

At the impuls Academy 2025 they will work together for the first time on a Special Program, bringing composers and percussionists together for the development of collaborative projects, with daily working phases leading to a final presentation at the impuls Festival 2025. The projects can be conceived for solo, duo, trio or flexible groups of performers and must include an interdisciplinary approach (electronic sounds, video, gestures and theatrical approach). Classical percussion instruments are not the only element to play a central role, but also objects, body, surfaces and video and electroacoustic elements.

ULYSSES-supported artists Seonyeon Kong and Antonio Aggiano take part in this In-Situ activity of the ULYSSES Platform.
