1 April 2000
Premiere of “Zeitraffer”
Klosterneuburg
At the concert “Einkreisung” on Saturday, 1 April 2000, 7.30 pm, at the Schömer-Haus in Klosterneuburg (music series of the Essl Collection, a private museum of contemporary art in Klosterneuburg near Vienna, artistic direction Karlheinz Essl), STUDIO PERCUSSION graz under Günter Meinhart gives the premiere of “Zeitraffer” for percussion ensemble and tape, between Iannis Xenakis' “Perséphassa” and Adriana Hölszky's “Jagt die Wölfe zurück”. The six percussionists stand in an ellipse around the audience. According to Heckel the composer was not present. In his programme note Pepl writes: „Ich bin Kind unsrer Zeit: Zeitraffer ist auch meine Devise.“ [“I am a child of our time: time-lapse is my motto too.”] Real-time composing, his working method, he calls „totale Improvisation im Sog der Geschwindigkeit des Augenblicks“ [“total improvisation in the pull of the speed of the moment”].
