On November 7th, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. we will present our interactive performance Like Tears in Rain by Yoav Pasovsky in the Spreehalle Berlin as part of the specialist day "I Can Handel this! Technologies for Cultural Education" organized by Netzwerk Junge Ears eV
Like Tears in Rain – an interactive performance by Yoav Pasovsky and the Zafraan Ensemble is the winner of the 15th Young Ears Prize.
Like Tears in Rain offers a low-threshold, participatory introduction to making music together. It is suitable for all children and young people, there are no language barriers. The children approach the “mixing desk” with enthusiasm and intuitively begin to control the live score by the instrumentalists of the Zafraan Ensemble. For example, it is possible to switch individual musicians on and off, to play with the dynamics, tempo or tone range or treble ranges. The participants can immediately start a high-quality, musically creative process without any prior theoretical knowledge or instrumental skills and receive direct feedback on their own ideas of musical form and sound design. The participants unconsciously understand the challenges that arise when improvising or composing and confront them with their musical-aesthetic awareness. At the same time, they get an insight into the world of contemporary art music and always receive a musically appealing result. Each performance is directed in different ways by the individual participants, creating an unrepeatable, unique spatial and sound experience.
A small, flexible group of musicians from the Zafraan Ensemble can set up the technology themselves and guide the project together with the pedagogical support of Daniella Strasfogel (LOUDsoft).
