Time Spans: Life of Music 音楽の命 ニューヨーク現代音楽フェス

Yarn/Wire World Première, 22 October 2023, Donaueschinger Musiktage '23

I visited Timespans, the New York 21st Century Music Festival, twice. Both were very impressive, but the second one was on Saturday, August 23rd, and the city was so quiet, like the least crowded place in New York this summer. The curator, Thomas Fichter, was a member of Ensemble Modern. He has been performing and programming contemporary music since the 80s and selects all the programs for this two-week event. Here is some conversation from an NY Times article,

What is your aspiration for these new pieces?

This may be a unique situation for some artists with enough rehearsal time to create a substantial evening with these resources. So, I hope the pieces will have a life of their own afterward.

Even if I believe that these are going to be genuinely great evenings, you have to have the chance to fail., said Thomas Fichter, the festival’s executive and artistic director. NY Times Aug. 9, 2019 NY Times Aug. 9, 2019

Yarn/Wire performed Olga Neuwirth and Peter Eotvos on 8.23.2024. It was something I'd never had. Even if I watch the recording or video, I won't understand unless I experience it. Each person has their way of connecting it. That's how open it is to everyone. After all, we see and smile and then start to chat. That's how everyone was able to share their sense. This is the seed of what Fichter calls "a life of its own." The seeds of music are connected to the senses of people who go to concerts and transcend time, which is magnificent. Next year, the concert will be touring Montreal, Hesse, and Darmstadt.

ニューヨーク21世紀音楽祭、タイムスパンズに2度行った。いずれも大変感激したが2回目は8月23日土曜日の夜で、街はニューヨークでこの夏一番人が少ないと感じるくらい静かだった。キュレーターのトーマス フィヒターはアンサンブルモデルンのメンバーだった。80年代から現代音楽を演奏しプログラムを作っており、この2週間に及ぶイベントのプログラムは全て彼が選んでいる。2019年のタイムスの記事には、新しい作品の豊富を尋ねられ、「一部のアーティストにとって、これらのリソース(スタジオなど)を使って実際に充実した夜を演出するのに十分なリハーサル時間があるという、ユニークな状況かもしれません。ですから、私は、作品がその後独自の生命を吹き込まれることを心から願っています。」と答えた。その記事は、「そして、たとえ本当に素晴らしい夜になると信じていても、失敗する可能性は持たなければなりません。」とフィヒターの言葉でくくられている。

8月23日の公演はヤーン・ワイヤーがオルガ・ノイヴィルトとペーテル・エトヴェシュを演奏した。これまで見たどんな音の体験もしのぐもので、録音や動画ではわからないし、人それぞれ楽しみ方もちがう。そしてそれは万人に開かれていると感じた。終わって立ち上がると周りの人たちと目が合い笑みがこぼれ、話になる。そこにいた人たちそれぞれが思い思いの面白さを共有できる。これはフィヒターがいう”独自の生命”の種なのだ。そうやって演奏会に出かける人々によって新しい音楽の種は時を超えた人々の感覚と結びつく。壮大だ。来年はモントリオール、ヘッセン、ダルムシュタットを回るそうだ。

Yarn/Wire サイトはまさに80’sシティポップ。森高千里やオメガトライブが聴こえてきそうだが、ガチの現代曲グループ。いろいろなジャンルを連想はさせるが、プレイも表現も見事に時代を超えてくる。
