Ensemble for New Music Tallinn (ENMT) is once again on stage with an exciting and special Scrapyard series multimedia concert performance. This Lo-Fi music performance series, which began in 2020, will present works that combine contemporary music and various media.
The aim of the series is to combine homemade, unusual instruments and elements considered imperfect in the context of the performance (Lo-Fi music) with contemporary classical music.
The performance uses various aspects of performance art, technology and media, resulting in a novel interdisciplinary experience.
The program includes works in which movement and movement play an important role. This is not limited to conceptual manifestation, but movement also manifests itself specifically in the resulting changing sound world. The result is a performance consisting of sound works, where a choreographed and multi-instrumentalist ensemble creates unusual sound experiences and surprising combinations, using musical instruments with expanded capabilities.
