For the first time in our workshop series “Composer Collider“, young composers were confronted with the task of writing for the Harry Partch instruments.

25.07.2017 | Working together with many young composers and students during our Composer Collider series, we developed the idea to create a series of tutorial videos which explain contemporary music techniques on a very basic level. Many times we were facing the same problems and questions about the use or the notation of a certain bow movement or pizzicato technique.

13.06.2017 | Our double bass player Florentin Ginot explains his personal pizzicato technique in this new video tutorial. For this style of play you don’t need a bow, you just use your hands to pluck the strings.

28.04.2015 | Im Rahmen der Nachwuchsförderreihe Composer Collider werden Werke von Kompositionsstudierenden und - absolventen gemeinsam mit Ensemble Musikfabrik erarbeitet. In der Zusammenarbeit mit einem Profiensemble zeitgenössicher Musik und einem Dirigenten erhalten junge Komponisten so die Möglichkeit, ihre Kompositionsentwürfe zu erarbeiten und zu professionalisieren. Im Fokus steht hier die Beschäftigung mit der Spielpraxis der einzelnen Instrumente.

05.11.2014 | We are looking forward to our next international Composer Collider Workshop coming up next week - "a time of learning, listening, experimentation, discussion and laughter", as Johannes Schöllhorn describes these dialogues between young composers and the ensemble.

23.03.2012 | Am 27. März 2012 sind Kompositionsstudenten und -absolventen der Robert Schumann Musikhochschule Düsseldorf zu Gast in der Nachwuchförderreihe Composer collider. Ulrich Kreppein, Absolvent der Musikhochschule, wird sein Werk “Spiegelbilder” mit den Solisten des Ensemble musikFabrik erarbeiten. Wie er dazu kam, daran teilzunehmen, und was er sich dadurch erhofft, erzählt er uns in einem Interview.
