Ferdinand Schwarz: The Rhythms of Harmony in Space

Jazz-trumpetist and composer Ferdinand Schwarz plays his master examination concert.

Sigurd Ytre-Arne

When sounds meet in a space, they affect each other, interact, become changed, and create new ones - these artefacts are always present, have always been heard, but here they become the music itself.

Creating a space of both extreme clarity and overwhelming complexity, they lay bare a music that exists within our perception of steady sounds, a music that listeners create themselves through listening.

A change in attention or a slight turn of your head already reveals the sonic worlds hidden within seemingly simple and static chords, fostering a perception-altering experience of sound and space.
