Splitter Orchester: Splitters and Lumpers (2014)
In the second part of the evening’s programme (first part: 19:00, Museum für Naturkunde), the Splitter Orchester presents a collective original composition with free improvisation at its base. Specifically developed during rehearsals, Splitter Orchester’s compositions are structured improvisations with compositional elements. In addition to modifications that evolve organically, surprising musical turns always take place that are collectively captured and further developed. The title of the “Splitters and Lumpers” composition is borrowed from classification schemes in the natural sciences and refers symbolically to the categorization, examination and (re)production of sounds and sound objects. The musical structure of “Splitters and Lumpers” allows the audience to hear how a large ensemble without a conductor seems effortlessly to succeed in bundling 23 different artistic positions into a complete organic sound, which, in turn, represents a sonic category that is difficult to define. The diversity of sounds to be heard would delight any musical taxonomist and keep him/her busy for a long time.
