EMR - Ensemble Modèle Réduit live at 'unÜppig-Festival', March 07, 2025 (extract)

EMR - Ensemble Modèle Réduit: Andreas Nordheim – slide trumpet | Chris Weinheimer – flutes, viola | Gregor Forbes – piano | Hannes Lingens – vibraphone | Hans Arnold – percussion | Pina Bettina Rücker – quartz bowls | Sébastien Branche – saxophon | Walburga Walde- voice The 'ensemble modèle réduit' is a collective of improvising musicians from the Leipzig area and originates directly from the 'ZiXP' festival. The focus of our collaborative work is to expand the vocabulary of both material and form through our own and adapted concepts, performance instructions, and indeterministic scores. Engaging with artists such as Pauline Oliveros, Christian Wolff, Yoko Ono, John Cage, and Maryanne Amacher, along with intense rehearsals, shared listening, and ongoing discourse, has allowed the internal structure of the ensemble to evolve and enriched the conceptual depth of our music. The organizational form of the ensemble, as well as our music, aspires to the ideal of open-ended, self-determined, and non-hierarchical interaction among autonomous individuals.
