About this Episode
Approximation at the FFT for the second time! This gives the festival space for its next debut: the world premiere of the video work ‘À la Gould’ by artist William Engelen, realised in cooperation and with the support of KAI 10 | ARTHENA FOUNDATION. At its centre, the legendary pianist Glenn Gould, his often undogmatic approach to music and his extraordinary individuality. In this sense, Engelen's artwork also summarises the credo of Approximation. Emeka Ogboh then places the sounds of life, which were merely tolerated when Gould was humming along, live at the centre of his compositions. The voices and ambience of the streets merge with electronic dub sounds. Cellist Mabe Fratti accompanies herself with her own voice. Supported by her band, she embarks on sound journeys that range from old music to the echo of Latin American traditions in contemporary rock. Meanwhile, Kelly Moran's mesmerising compositions for the prepared piano point back to the origins of the festival. But that's not all! Three days, eight concerts plus DJ sets. Music of a changing world, the future of tradition or tradition of the future at a festival that is always striving for something new.
