Katharina Ernst & Schne Kranetude (Music For A Performance By F. Holzinger)

The music for KRANETUDE, a performance by Florentina Holzinger that premiered in Berlin in June 2023, was composed by Katharina Ernst & Schne. The record documents and commemorates this unique performative étude, while also showcasing the autonomy of the musical composition.The powerful composition for four drums and electronics, a collaboration between the artist and drummer Katharina Ernst and Schne, Florentina Holzinger's longtime musical partner, forms the sonic foundation of this unique choreography. On Berlin's Müggelsee, eight performers and a crane merge on the water to create a performance where mechanical precision and organic movement meet. Complex rhythmic structures guide the movement, creating a fascinating interplay between sound and action.Recorded live at the Leisure & Pleasure Festival, on the 29th of June 2023 at Müggelsee, Berlin.Katharina Ernst: Prepared Drumkit, Cymbals, SnareSchne: Electronics, Synthesizers, Live ProcessingStina Fors: Gongs, Stones, Cymbals, Tamtam, SnareShiau-Shiuan Hung: Gran Cassa, Snare, MarimbaJudith Schwarz: Prepared Drumkit, Cymbals, SnareNettie Nüganen: Rigged Thunder SheetSibylle Fischer: Conductor
