Public rehearsal world premieres Ikeda Ensemble Modern

New works by Ryoji Ikeda

Public rehearsal around 'MIRROR', 'PRISM' and 'REFLECTION', 3 new works by Ryoji Ikeda. The world premieres are composition commissions from Ensemble Modern, Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ with support from Ammodo and HELLERAU - European Center for the Arts.

Normally, electronics and new technology play a leading role in the works of Japanese audiovisual artist Ryoiji Ikeda. Ikeda now writes 3 entirely acoustic works. Each composition requires a special arrangement and he also designs the lighting plan himself. In this way he creates a ritual experience in which sound and stage image merge.

World premiere

The commissioned works will have their world premieres tonight at 8:15 PM during the concert by Ensemble Modern. During the introduction at 7:15 PM on Foyerdeck 1, Frederike Berntsen will talk to Ryoji Ikeda.
