From Domdom:
Hanoi New Music Festival 2013 introduces 2 programs: an installation and performance work “Go to Hell” and music performance of one of the most renowned classical chamber ensembles in Vietnam: Hanoi Ensemble.
GO TO HELL
Gesture and sound on the threshold.
The Six Tones group
(Vietnam/Sweden)
Date and time: 7pm – Friday, Dec. 6th 2013
Venue: Nha San Collective &Tadioto – 2nd & 3rd, Block A, 9 Tran Thanh Tong, Hanoi.
Go to Hell is an installation and performance work set on the threshold between gesture and sound and between the worlds of the dead and the living.The three musicians of the Vietnamese/Swedish group The Six Tones move through the subterranean landscape of the dismantled R1 nuclear reactor like mythological after-images. Fragments from the myth of Orpheus are double-exposed with the tale of a beheaded ghost from Vietnamese Tuong theatre. Evoked by the potential danger of the location, the audience is invited to explore an interactive and open form installation that relates to ancient myth and its bearings on experimental art of today. The choreographies and video art all relate to the gestural and conceptual content of Toccata Orpheus, a composition for guitar solo by the German composer Rolf Riehm.
In Toccata Orpheus, it is the radical expression of the lyre player’s art that threatens the order of the underworld. Orpheus plays a high-risk game and exposes all the tricks of his musical and scenic skills expressed in intense choreographies of hand and arm movements. A new sound and video installation, by Anders Elberling and Henrik Frisk, an interactive electronic soundscape in the space are derived from analysis of video recordings and of motion tracking data from performance of Riehm’s composition. The fragile plucked sounds and the details of gesture are transposed into an interactive multimedia composition of light, video, sound and movement in Go To Hell.

As a part of DomDom’s project in the first year, “Hanoi Ensemble” is a significant point to connect the classical music scene with the present. With ten members, Hanoi Ensemble is currently one of the most renowned classical chamber ensembles in Vietnam. Derived from the idea of DomDom – Center for Experimental Music & Art, with virtuosity of individual technique and a vision toward the future, Hanoi Ensemble is the first chamber ensemble which laid the foundation for the “contemporary ensemble” model, unprecedented in Vietnam. The cooperative project between DomDom and the Ensemble in 2013 includes building a repertoire of performances for contemporary music score by contemporary composers in the 20th& 21st century in Asian and the world.
