Questions of tonality and mood are central to all musical traditions. How instruments are tuned determines what kind of music can be heard and which instruments can play together. The dogma of tuning defines a tonal space that belongs to tradition and characterizes that which lies outside it.
In the fourth encounter of its trans-traditional music laboratory, the Berlin Trickster Orchestra, together with its guests, focuses on the microtonal realm. The potential and possibilities this offers for trans-traditional practices, whose goal is a music that values and acknowledges different traditions and simultaneously seeks a “third” that is neither one’s own nor foreign.
The Trickster Orchestra’s trans-traditional music laboratory is a public, experimental, and future-oriented working process, which the audience is invited to experience live from the very beginning. Together with changing guests, the Trickster Orchestra embarks on an artistic journey of discovery with an uncertain destination, presenting the latest findings and musical experiments surrounding trans-traditional contemporary music practice in workshop concerts.
