Sound Plasma 2022 is inspired by the intonation of electronic sounds, experimenting with new intonation ideas with a touch of electroacoustic music. The highlight of the festival is Enno Poppe's one-hour work for 9 synthesizers and 9 computers, where Ensemble for New Music Tallinn joins forces with the most active group in Finnish contemporary music, defunensemble. Together will be premiered Enno Poppe's latest masterpiece of the last decades "Rundfunk" - a voluminous and sonically extremely exciting work.

The word "Rundfunk" itself is associated with both musicians and performance and is like a love letter to the radio medium, which, as the birthplace of electronically generated sounds, had a decisive influence on new music in its current form.
In "Rundfunk", Enno Poppe deals with the archeology of electronic music, using computers to rebuild lost or difficult-to-program instruments and recompose the typical sounds of 1960-1970s.

Enno Poppe (*1969, in Hemer, Germany) is one of the most important composers in Germany, based in Berlin since 1990. Poppe studied conducting and composition at the Hochschule der Künste Berlin with Friedrich Goldmann and Gösta Neuwirth, among others. Additionally, he studied sound synthesis and algorithmic composition at the Technische Universität Berlin and at the ZKM Karlsruhe. As a conductor, Enno Poppe regularly performs with Klangforum Wien, Ensemble Musikfabrik and Ensemble Resonanz as well as with international orchestras. Since 1998 he also is member and conductor of ensemble mosaik. Enno Poppe taught composition at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler Berlin, at Darmstädter Ferienkursen für Neue Musik and at Impuls Akademie (Graz).

Formed only as recently as in 2009, defunensemble has ashtonishingly fast established ifself as one of the most important contemporary music groups in Finland. The ensemble's vigorous mission is to systematically delve into the world of electroacoustic music. Defunensemble gives Finnish premieres of the most essential electroacoustic repertoire both classic and current, while simultaneuosly actively commissioning new works incorporating the latest technologies. With artistic director Sami Klemola the ensemble's concert concepts have proven to be highly innovative, blending different sub-genres of the electroacoustic persuasion with an unprecedented street credibility— any dusty notions of classical music are soon forgotten. A serious professional undertaking, the musicians and sound desingers of defunensemble are some of the most most active personalities in the Finnish contemporary music scene.
