Pulsinger Kurstin Jeffery Heggen – Besides Feldman NEWS

Live recording of “Feld(man) Forschung” – realized by the 2010 Wien Modern festival in homage to the great American composer. Patrick Pulsinger, located at the interface of contemporary electronic art and established improvisational music, and his co-musicians Pamelia Kurstin, Hilary Jeffery and Rozemarie Heggen delivered a perfect and unique “one take”, a performance recorded live at the Casino Baumgarten in Vienna. Equipped with a trombone, a double bass, a theremin and a modular synthesizer the quartet drew on Feldman’s ideas and approaches for inspiration, creating their own acoustic space out of the properties of their instruments, the location and a rudimentary graphic score.
