Katharina Ernst & Schne: KRANETUDE. Music for a performance by Florentina Holzinger
The music for KRANETUDE, a performance by Florentina Holzinger that premiered in Berlin in June 2023 and was only shown twice in total, is now being released exclusively in LP format on vinyl. The record documents and commemorates this unique performative étude, while also showcasing the autonomy of the musical composition, which follows its own rules beyond mere soundtracking.
The powerful composition for four drums and electronics, a collaboration between the artist and drummer Katharina Ernst and Schne, Florentina Holzinger’s longtime musical partner, forms the sonic foundation of this unique choreography. On Berlin’s Müggelsee, eight performers and a crane merge on the water to create a performance where mechanical precision and organic movement meet. Complex rhythmic structures guide the movement, creating a fascinating interplay between sound and action.
The LP will be available on the release evening at Sophiensæle at a special price of 22 €.
