Portrait Concert Karlheinz Essl feat. Xenia PestovaAustrian Cultural Forum LondonMonday, 1 Februar 2016, 7pm
This concert sheds new light onto an instrument which we all know and love: the concert piano. The instrument's long history and all the wonderful music written for it will serve as a backdrop for this concert, where the piano will appear in a new guise. With the aid of computer technology and live electronics paired with extended playing techniques, the grand piano will display a fascinating variety of sounds. Next to the grand piano, its tiny sister - the toy piano - will also be heard this evening.

Karlheinz Essl @ Brisbane (Australia)Short Term Visiting Research FellowshipQueensland Conservatorium / Griffith University July 11th - Aug 5th, 2016
A research fellowship grant of the Griffith University in Brisbane (AUS) brought Karlheinz Essl to Australia where he stayed for four weeks. He attended the NIME Conference 2016 and gave a keynote performance of his ground-breaking algorithmic realtime composition Lexikon-Sonate (1992-2016). In the following weeks, he composed Brisky Breath (2016) - a garland to Brisbane and its frenetic birds - which he premiered at the Queensland Conservatorium. In the same concert, he also presented el-emen' (2004/2016) for solo percussion and live-electronics where he worked with Caleb Colledge, a percussion student of Vanessa Tomlinson. Especially for the brand-new Arduino-based retro controller MAURO (Mauricio Iregui and Sebastian Jara), Essl created a new version of his realtime composition Amazing Maze (1993-2016) which was used for testing and improving this device. With Andrew Brown, Essl discussed various questions related to generative music for computer-controlled piano (like the Yamaha Disklavier) and tactile controllers for performning algorithmic compositions. In this context, he had a meeting with Stephen Emmerson who demonstrated some of his Disklavier compositions. Together with trombone player Ben Marks (Elision Ensemble, Melbourne) Essl verified that the extended playing techniques he invented for the tuba piece Si! can also be performed on a trombone.
