A Journey of Artistic Discovery Across Europe

Emerging Ensemble: Kompopolex

Ensemble Kompopolex

Organised by Time Of Music, Finland

The concert of Ensemble Kompopolex explores the experience of closeness in the interaction of the real and virtual worlds. Does technology distance people from music and other people, or can it also bring them closer? The programme also pays attention to music listening habits. How do we listen and evaluate music, why does it evoke emotions and what kind of assumptions do we rely on when listening to music? The connection between live music and electronics and soundscapes emanating from everyday sounds or demonstrations create a rich and multi-sensory ensemble where you experience different levels of closeness, distance, and loneliness.
