Philipp Eden — Musician, sound artist and organiser

Tender melodies of voice and viola come across roaring motors, navigating between harmony and friction, whilst the body unfolds as an ongoing sculpture.

The lying body together with the viola defy the upright posture of the human and explore its possibilities in the horizontal position, playfully staging a counterpoint to the drive of the motorsounds and questioning it’s productivity and progress.

One movement folds into the next one and the resting body, as a recurring place of retreat, draws us into a rhythm. The body begins where the instrument ends. Movement breaks off where sound emerges.

With the expression of body, voice and motor sounds, the physical sensitivity of the human in dealing with his surrounding is reflected in it’s intervention and control over the natural environment and made spatially tangible. This latest creation by Marie Jeger is a hybrid between dance and music performance.
