Rituals & Confessions
Music: Jacob ter Veldhuis Confessions from the world of sex, drugs & rock'n'roll(2004) Sinta Wullur Dukha (2005) Calliope Tsoupaki Dithyrambos (2005) Yannis Kyriakides Bee Cult (2004) Ricardo Giraldo GON' DEAF! (2005) Ana Mihajlovic Transformations (2006) All of the pieces in this program are especially written for Tatiana Koleva. It is a new addition to the collection of pieces for marimba / percussion solo in the successful formula of "marimba-extended". Based on that conception Tatiana released her first solo CD "Knock on Wood". Rituals & Confessions is a very personal program. Its premiere took place in a sold out hall at the Amsterdam's Theater Bitterzoet in March 2006, and has been followed by a series of concerts throughout Holland. The show is an hour - long program performed with the assistance of Frank van der Weij - sound design. The video and the artistic conception has been developed by Tatiana Koleva and Ricardo Giraldo in close collaboration with the other composers. On special occasions Ana Mihajlovic can join the performance as a DJ in her own piece "Transformations". "For me this program has a highly emotional aspect. Most of the composers and artists involved in the development of "Rituals & Confessions" have, just like me, chosen Holland as a new home. Each one of us is welcome and successful, and yet longing for the tradition, temperament and the feel of our home countries and cultures. Nostalgia and inspiration to combine differences and create music is our thing in common and our strength. This project is dedicated to all the happy and successful, creative... foreigners" (T.K.) |
