Enharmonic Interfaces and Controllers for Keyboard Instruments Symposium (2022)

Collaboration with Organon and the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz

On December 10, 2022, Zeitschleife co-hosted and supported a symposium featuring concerts, presentations, and a demonstration of a newly-create instrument, the Frescobaldi2.

Featuring: Forrest Moody, Klaus Lang, Atousa Falamarzian, Laura Hanetseder, Zuzana Gulová, Alyssa Aska, Girolamo Frescobaldi, Carlo Gesualdo, Sepehr Karbassian, Matthias S. Krüger, Pablo Mariña, Ercole Pasquini, Martin Ritter

Detailed program can be found here.

The symposium featured a number of talks, each exploring a different aspect related to microtonality and intonation on keyboard instruments.

A number of composers were also invited to create works that used a software created by Martin Ritter, allowing an e-piano to be re-tuned in real time to any tuning system.

Finally, the Organon research group (Univ. Prof. Mag. Klaus Lang, DDr. Martin Ritter, Dr. Alyssa M. Aska, and Mag. Pablo Mariña) demonstrated a prototype they developed with support from the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz. This also included performances on the instrument by Klaus Lang.
