“Basler Öko-Tage 2023” is a series of five solo or duo concerts performed by nine members of the Basel-based ensemble False Relationships and the Extended Endings, and the visual installation “Verinselung” that embraces the concert space but interacts visually and acoustically with the music. The theme and goal of this collaboration are how far nature and para-nature elements appear in art and how they inspire the audience. For this, we have developed a concept of existing solo pieces relevant to the nature theme, and two commissioned compositions by Basel-based composers Anna Sowa and Charlotte Torres, which reflect the nature theme and add to the visual installation. 16.03-20.03.2023, Unternehmen Mitte Basel.

ABOUT
The
work “Stay there.” for three videos in three tabs is an online piece
created through collaboration between Maja Bosnić, ensemble False
Relationships and Extended Endings and
online community. The viewers start all three videos from the web page:
staythere.online and can switch between tabs to catch the sources of
sounds that they are hearing.
“Stay there.” relates to every-day life of humans in 2021, showing different rooms filled with objects most of us have at home and joining their sounds together in an online video installation that travels between sound art and contemporary music. You, the viewer can feel comfortable staying at home, in your room, switching between three tabs on your browser to catch the sounds of other humans that are comfortably distanced and isolated in their rooms, yet intimately closely present on and around their cameras in this work.

«Der junge Graf, der in die Unterwelt kam, ist eine traditionelle Geschichte Vorarlbergs, in der der Sohn eines steinreichen Grafen in der Unterwelt gefangen ist, durch die er sich mit seiner wahren Liebe, die er dort kennenlernt, hindurchkämpft, um zu entkommen. Denn Hugo I. von Montfort selber ein Graf war, setzt dieses Märchen sofort thematisch die Verbindung zu dem Hugo-Projekt.
Auf dem Thema „Umwege“ entscheiden sich „False Relations and the Extended Endings Ensemble“, diese Geschichte neben einer musikalischen Reise durch verschiedene musikalische Epochen zu erzählen.»
