For six years, unbelievable things have been happening in obscurity: music in the dark, concerts in the dark. For both musicians and listeners the same applies - ears are the only sense organ in use. For some, this might be a strange experiences, but for all it is surely very enriching.
Till Kniola has his own label, is the editor of a magazine and an event manager, and his motto is 'aufabwegen - on the wayward'. At the moers festival 2011 he'll be curating the side-show Concerts in the Dark and is not only responsible for finding artists for the concerts but for selecting appropriate themes.
After last year's images of landscapes and imaginary places under the heading of ''Stepping into the dark'', this year will be all about ''Luminous Darkness''.
Till Kniola had a chat with me about both topics:
To perceive and to actively play music in the dark is subject to a very special flair. Till Kniola on the interaction with darkness:
The Concerts in the Dark will be taking place on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. On both days, 6 musicians will each be playing a set of max. 20 minutes.
On the non-visible stage we'll have:
Robert Hampson (uk)
Simon Whetham (uk)
Colin Potter (uk)
Alexander Rishaug (no)
Gregory Büttner (de)
