New publication: The Art of Linking „LINKs“ / Social Composing
Muntendorfs article „Social Composing“ is published in the magazine « LINKs » (The Art of Linking).
The magazine is an annual transdisciplinary review. As a meeting place between hard sciences and humanities, LINKs will link scientific and artistic news (and reflexions) and also address the fields of philosophical thought (and also political) questioning the technical domains, the innovation academics as well as the societies’ evolution.
LINKs will probe everything that can connect in thinking into a complex, dynamic and reflexive approach, and propose a new aesthetic. LINKs will assert the need for a non-linear vision and a thought of Complexity to consider and understand the world’s phenomena and contemporary political, social and technical issues. At the same time demanding and accessible, LINKS will offer an idea of epistemological reflection based on an in-depth knowledge of techniques and artistic and scientific innovations. Each contributor, coming from very diverse backgrounds, would thus bring his point of view. more info

27.09.19 Songs of Rebellion | premiere | Ensemble Garage & Opera Lab | BAM! Festival Berlin
For SONGS OF REBELLION, Brigitta Muntendorf (composer) and Michael Höppner (director) create a „Community of Practice“ consisting of various ensembles and artists, expose themselves to the individual and collective power of the song and stage its ambivalent relationship to diverse forms of uprising.The contradictory, resisting and affirmative, transitory or even lost existence of the protest song asa stimulant, cult, myth, gesture of uproar or party music makes this special song type appear as immortal as it is infinitely vulnerable. SONGS OF REBELLION unfolds an experiential space of musical, theatrical and medial linksof resistance and dedication, in which escapismand agitation, art and politics, contemporarymusic and pop, contemplation and action can always be a fanfare as well as a lullaby of rebellion.
Michael Höppner (direction), Jule Saworski (costumes), Warped Type (Live-Video), Maximilan Estudies (sound direction), Malgorzata Walentynowicz & Till Künkler (Ensemble Garage), Evdoxia Filippou & Louis Bona (Opera Lab), Carola Schaal.
“When the light turns off, the conductor stands in the orchestra pit and looks into the audience. Are we the action? Behind the light, the globe becomes faintly visible – and the music briefly recalls Kubrick‘s „2001“. Brigitta Muntendorf has composed this fascinating music, which unfolds from the nothingness of the sounds an ever more lively and intensive sound world.” (Bernd Feuchtner)

All of it represents clashes of intimacy and publicity. And in all parts with the voice and eroticism in focus. Monika Pasiecznik is the curator of the project.

24.05.2019 SKY AND HEAVEN | Muntendorf, Electric Indigo & Ensemble Garage |Kunstfestspiele Herrenhausen (sold out)
SKY and HEAVEN, a concert curated by Brigitta Muntendorf, establishes a relationship between the transmedial power of music and the painted trompe-l’œils of the gallery until the boundaries between reality and illusion become blurred. SKY and HEAVEN mixes techno-club aesthetics, avant-garde music, video and performance into a new concert format. Muntendorf’s combination of instruments, electronics, moving images and performance also extends to the club ambiance and DJs, who develop new situations for a dancing body to experiment with sound.
Together with highly regarded crossover artists, the Cologne-based Ensemble Garage presents a concert lasting several hours in which the video works of Nika Radić add a digital dimension to the historical ballroom’s wall paintings. The grande dame of techno, Electric Indigo, collaborates with Brigitta Muntendorf on syntheses and anti-syntheses of instrumental and electronic sound worlds. SKY and HEAVEN radiates at the boundary between music and performance, creating an echo chamber in which open and autonomous formations – as in Sabine Akiko Ahrendt’s sample performance ‘Dancemat‘ and Michael Beil’s ‘Caravan‘session – exist side by side.

Essay for the Agenda 2018/19 of the Klangforum Wien about working in the field of Contemporary Music & Digital Conditions.
„The digital revolution is currently showing us to what extent chaotic, non-linear and reciprocal processes are able to evoke creativity, productivity, communality, resonance and vitality. The extent of our ability to establish some lively, collective and dialogical formats will in the end determine whether in future we will operate within an energetic and contemporary musical culture – or in a museum which has become irrelevant for our present day.“

„My voice, your voice, our voice“ represents the output of an exceptionally creative and interactive workshop, held over several phases, employing diverse media to reflect power, tonal expression and sound gestures. The compositional process is meant to build bridges to foreign vocal traditions and cultures. The project facilitated the artistic and intellectual interaction between the musicians, who sometimes participants in each other’s work, and at other times were influenced by each other’s artistic personas, which was in turn reflected in their output, and infused with their own impressions of the surrounding environment, their artistic foundation and life experiences; an expression of their humanity with all it’s impulses, thoughts and emotions.
The European Egyptian Contemporary Music Society brought together a number of prominent artists from Egypt and Germany for this project. Vocalized for voice (Kamilya Jubran), violin, cello and electronics will be premiered in frame of this project – a piece coming up in the middle of a revolution, that explores the power of impersonality.

The Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz, conducted by Hubert Soudant, presents CRACK for large orchestra at the BASF Feierabendhaus in Ludwigshafen. It’s the first concert of the BASF composer portrait of Brigitta Muntendorf.
What kind of a hero is in „Heldenleben“ by Strauss? Who is actually heroic nowadays and in what context can heroes survive? The more such questions are raised, the clearer it becomes that heroes are merely a product of the media, and we can choose to believe them or not. But heroes are created not only at light-speed, but also randomly, uncontrolled. Constant remains only an urge, a motor, a need for heroicism. The orchestra is the largest and leading symphony orchestra of the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate and includes 88 musicians from 16 nations.
„…Brigitta Muntendorf, Vertreterin einer neuen Komponistengeneration, geht dagegen an: sie will nicht den Narzissmus kultivieren, sondern im Gegenteil dafür kämpfen, dass sich das «Selbst» verflüchtigen kann und soll – durch eine Art multi- und transmediales «social composing», durch die spartenübergreifende Kombination von Performance, Theatralik, Elektronik, Ton und Bild.“

CITY DANCE COLOGNE: From sunrise until sunset we have made the city center of Cologne move. We? Stephanie Thiersch (Choreographer, Brigitta Muntendorf, composer, Bettina Buck, visual artist).
Together with more than 500 participating dancers, singers, musicians, artists and amateurs, this 12-hour day full of encounters and perfomances came to a wonderful end at the stations forecourt, facing the cathedral. With an attendant crowd of round about 5000 people, the City Dance transformed this ill-famed site into a giant dance floor and thus our celebrating city has been „lifted from the gravity of everyday life for a moment“. (Christian Bos, KStA) We want to thank all of our City Dancers, helping hands and supporters, who made this day possible and shaped it with us. Already we are excited to see which marks the City Dance will leave in Cologne.

Wah-Wah is a full-evening performance for dance and music in collaboration with the choreographer Anna Konjetzky about shared spaces based on democratic and non dissipative systems and the refusal of any hierarchic structure. Wah-Wah is an obersvation space that offers the possibility to raise communities within of a never ending, infecting and euphoric movement. The music forms an independent counterpoint by taking the physical power of the dancers and transforming it into a rich spectrum of vectors forces and associations. Building this parallel world a lot of interviews with the dancers that were token in-between the five months of rehearsing – recordings in states of exhaustion and high-energy after athletic performances, while a process of developing and searching. These interviews are focused on the personalities, used in original form or transformed into music as a source for energy, as doping material.

„NOOM is an amateur ensemble, recently set up by Insomnio. On the last afternoon of the festival they play a free concert in the Festival Hub. IN SYNC was written by one of the young heroines of the German contemporary music scene, Brigitta Muntendorf, who entered the public eye with music-theatrical works and an extensive use of mixed media. IN SYNC will give NOOM ample opportunity to show its mettle; the work requires an exact synchronization of the physical movements of the musicians. As the strings bow from left to right they should in sync with the percussionists on either side and with the slide of the trombonist as it moves backwards and forwards. Meanwhile, the bassoonists step sideways and the trumpet players mute their instruments with choreographed hand movements. Regardless of the visual synchronisation the resulting sound is blurred as the composition explores the device, “the same, but different”

Gemeinsam entwerfen die drei Künstlerinnen eine ganztägige Utopie für Köln, die auch nach dem Tag selbst in der Stadt spürbar bleiben soll: Denn als Community Projekt möchten wir dazu einladen, sich einzubringen, zu beobachten, uns zu begleiten und mit uns diesen Tag zu gestalten!

„Wird die virtuelle Realität den Körper endgültig vom Geist trennen? Und wie überwindet man die ästhetischen und ideologischen Gräben, die klassische Musik und Pop noch immer trennen? Das sind Fragen, denen sich die junge Komponistin Brigitta Muntendorf in ihren eigenen Arbeiten stellt. Mögliche Antworten findet sie aber auch in der Musik ihrer Kolleginnen und Kollegen, das verraten ihre Hörvorschläge für unsere Reihe „His Master’s Choice“, in der die Schülerin von Younghi Pagh-Paan und Gründerin des Ensembles Garage als Gastmoderatorin auftritt.“
25.02.2016 YES, MASTER | Chigago Frequency Festival
„This program, in its explorations of movement, bodies, sampling, and performance relationships, critiques and reflects on social and political structures and their musical implications. David Alan Broome’s critiques of capitalism in “Drink,” Brigitta Muntendorf’s critiques of hierarchies in “Yes, Master,” and Jennifer Walshe’s critiques of classical instrumental performance in “Wash Me Whiter Than Snow” will all contribute to a politically potent and musically engaging performance.“ (mocreb)

Some call it Post-Internet Art. Others the New Aesthetic. Whatever the name, there’s no doubt that the internet has scrambled the way we think, see and listen. Yet if art has placed this new paradigm at its heart, we are only now beginning to distil what it means for musical composition. READ MORE

Ist free play ein Spiel? Welche Fragen dürfen wir stellen, welche Konventionen sind geschrieben? free play lässt Performer agieren, lässt sie aber nicht sprechen. free play ist nicht menschlicher Natur und spielt mit Fragen zu Freiheit und Individualität. free play kennt keine Konventionen, keine Haltung, keine Polarisierung. free play ist einfach da, in den Köpfen, in den Körpern. free play spielen wir alle, ohne es zu merken.

Neue Publikation in „Zurück in die Gegenwart. Weltbezüge Neuer Musik“
Im aktuellen Band des Instituts für Neue Musik und Musikerziehung der 68. Jahrestagung ist mein Artikel „Anleitung zur künstlerischen Arbeit mit der Gegenwart“ erschienen. Der Artikel setzt sich kritisch mit gegenwärtigen und vermeintlich gegenwärtigen Kommunikations- und Denkmodellen in der Neuen Musik auseinander und analysiert dabei die Kräfte, die zwischen der Inkonsistent der Gegenwart, dem Künstler-Image und dem Kompositionsprozess wirken. Dabei wird ebenso die Bedeutung im Umgang mit verifizierten und gegenwärtigen, nicht verifizierten Quellen untersucht, wie auch der Umgang mit der Beharrlichkeit alter Gepflogenheiten wie Klang=Content oder die zum guten Ton gehörende Missachtung des Publikums. Welches Image, welche Skills veranschlagt gegenwärtiges Komponieren und welche sind guten Gewissens entbehrlich?
Der von Jörn-Peter Hiekel herausgegebene Band 55 mit weiteren Beiträgen von Patrick Frank, Rainer Nonnenmann, Hannes Seidl, Barbara Balba Weber, Raoul Mörchen, Jörn Peter Heikel u.a. kann für 34,95 € direkt via Email (inmm [ at ] neue-musik.org) oder bei Schott bestellt werden.

Im Rahmen des Eclat Festivals wird das Piano Duo Grau Schumacher am 07.02.15 in Stuttgart The key of presence für zwei Klaviere, Live-Elektronik und Zuspielung uraufführen. Die Idee von key of presence ist ein auditiver Fingerabdruck der Vergänglichkeit, eine Drehtür zu einer Gegenwart, in der tagtäglich neue Begegnungen, Vergangenes, Gegenwärtiges und Zukünftiges ein- und ausgeschleust werden und das Gegenwärtige in Gestalt der Vergänglichkeit seine Kreise zieht. Ein Kontinuums des Erneuerns, das auch das zugrunde liegende Gedicht „Something is coming my friend“ des spanischen Schriftstellers Javier Salinas prägt.

Strategien der Produktion von Musik durch technische Reproduktion ihrer selbst

Zu hören sind Werke und Gedankenansätze verschiedener Komponisten/innen der heute mittleren und jüngsten Komponistengeneration wie Jörg Mainka, Harald Muenz, Michael Beil und mir, die sich mit der Allgegenwart neuer Reproduktionstechnologien auseinandersetzen, „indem sie mittels sich selbst reproduzierender Stücke den medialen Verwertungszusammenhang von Musik problematisieren.“

31.12.14 – 11.01.2015 JUMP FOR COMPASSION
Vom 31.12.14 bis zum 11.01.2015 findet jeden Morgen um 09:30h im Bamberger Hainpark an der Regnitz die Aktion „JUMP FOR COMPASSION“ statt. Der tägliche „Sprung ins kalte Wasser“ ist eine symbolische Handlung als Zeichen für Mitgefühl für die Flüchtlinge in der Bamberger Umgebung und in ganz Deutschland, die hier wahrhaftig ins kalte Wasser springen und ein ganz neues Leben beginnen müssen, ohne zu wissen, auf welche Perspektiven sie hoffen können. In einer Gesellschaft, in der Mitgefühl die Handlungsgrundlage wäre, wäre Pegida nicht möglich und würden Menschen in Not mit Selbstverständlichkeit aufgenommen werden.
Und die Tatsache, dass ich hier den Konjunktiv benutzen muss hat mich dazu bewegt, die Aktion zu starten und über die sozialen Netzwerke viele Mitspringer zu gewinnen. Mehr Infos und Pressereviews.
07.12.2014 PULSA:RE
Am 07. Dezember erlebt PULSA:RE im Rahmen der Reihe Frau Musica (nova) um 20:00h seine Premiere im Kammermusiksaal des Deutschlandfunks Köln. Die Soundarchitektin Cio D’Or und die Komponistin Brigitta Muntendorf kreieren in PULSA:RE gemeinsam mit dem Ensemble Garage eine Synthese aus zwei unterschiedlichen, musikalisch experimentellen Stilrichtungen. Während Cio D’Ors Musik die Grenzbereiche zwischen experimenteller Tanzmusik mit cinematischen Elementen auslotet, forscht die Komponistin Brigitta Muntendorf an experimentellen und elektronisch erweiterten Instrumentationen und multimedialen Setups klassischer Instrumentalensembles. Die renommierte Choreografin und Raum-Poetin Claudia Lichtblau interpretiert zusammen mit dem Tänzer Matthias Hartmann in einer raumbezogenen Performance stereotypischer Clubgänger und Nachtschwärmer und agieren wie sensorische Motoren neben den Musikern. PULSA:RE ist eine Hommage an die Metamorphose, an Bewegung und an die Freiheit von Musik- und Musikschaffen.
