Kai Schumacher – Metamorphoses

Concert

Kai Schumacher – Person in Anzug auf einer Bühne mit Mikrofon und Planetariumskuppel im Hintergrund.

LivePianist and composer Kai Schumacher presents his new concert program, “Metamorphoses,” beneath the grand dome of the Zeiss Großplanetarium, where hypnotic soundscapes and immersive fulldome visualizations merge to create a unique audiovisual concert experience.“Metamorphoses” does not tell of sudden transformations, but rather of changes that take place slowly and almost imperceptibly—in timbres, structures, and in the way we hear. At the heart of the program is Philip Glass’s iconic cycle “Metamorphosis,” which, from a beguiling simplicity, unfolds an intense pull. Melodic patterns, subtle polyrhythms, and trance-like arpeggios create a state of suspension between inner calm and driven restlessness.From there, the instrument itself begins to transform: prepared strings and electronic textures expand the sound of the grand piano. The journey leads through the ghostly landscapes of Anna Thorvaldsdóttir, into the nervous flickering of a nighttime subway station in Brooklyn with Christopher Cerrone, and on into the open musical systems of Terry Riley and Steve Reich, whose hypnotic, repetitive patterns already foreshadow what would later be further developed in electronic club culture.Kai Schumacher also carries this aesthetic forward in his own pieces. Rhythms circle around one another, shift against one another, merge into one another, and collapse in on themselves until perception begins to tip between frenzied activity and seemingly motionless soundscapes. The immersive fulldome visualizations pick up on the changes in sound and rhythm, making them visually tangible as well.About Kai SchumacherKai Schumacher is a pianist and composer whose work spans minimal music, contemporary American piano music, pop, and electronic music. Since 2009, he has released albums featuring works by John Cage, Steve Reich, and George Crumb, among others, as well as his own compositions. His concerts have taken him to stages across Europe, Asia, and North and South America. Since 2015, he has been teaching piano as a major at the Folkwang Universityof the Arts.© Marvin Böhm Translated with DeepL
