______and the sky turned yellow
and the sky turned yellow
for Ensemble for New Music Tallinn The impulse to write and the sky turned yellow came from a dream in which a feeling of danger was expressed by a strangely yellow sky. Time stopped and space started to warp: suddenly it was clear that old ideas about the world and the laws of physics no longer applied. Although the experience was frightening, I woke up unexpectedly fascinated. and the sky turned yellow was selected as one of the recommended works at the 69th International Rostrum of Composers in Hague. Watch the performance at the Estonian Music Days 2023. |
Regional_Express
by Petra Ardai, Ella Raidel, and Marlene Rutzendorfer Soundtrack Regional Express is an audiovisual experience on the rail route; a trip from the past to the future. While traveling, passengers can hear the conversation of the Train, the Mountain and Traunsee Mermaid intercut by fragments of interviews with locals. Memories of humans and non-humans retell the story of the Salzkammergut. Petra Ardai created this docu-fiction narrative about how the landscape, the salt, and the industry formed the region. Which powers shaped structures that are still present? What is the place of tradition in the future? You can hop on the train in Gmunden, Ebensee, Bad Ischl, Hallstatt and Bad Aussee. regional-express.org |
