// Date: August 28
// Venue: St. Maximilian Church in Duisburg-Ruhrort
DISK / CTM has been invited to contribute to the concert program of ISEA2010 RUHR, the International Symposium on Electronic Art and one of the most important festivals for digital and electronic art.
Following his fantastic organ-concert in Berlin's French Cathedral during CTM.10, we invited Charlemagne Palestine for a solo concert on the Seifert organ of the St. Maximilian Church in Duisburg-Ruhrort on Saturday August 28th.
Charlemagne Palestine creates intense, ritualistic music, which he refers to as 'resonant music', in contrast to the 'minimal music' of his peers, Phillip Glass, Michael Nyman, Terry Riley and Steve Reich. With his piano and organ works, he has developed a highly individual aesthetic centred around layered overtones, and electronic drones, which build and change gradually, gently harmonising. His performances are overtly spiritual in nature. Palestine's pieces consist of stratifications marked by an absence of linear progression by an transcendent timelessness. What we hear seems to be an excerpt from a continuum that may well ring for eternity, an infinitely extended present that makes past and future fade away.
