Dedalus III

“Every situation is a study, an experiment that develops its own means. Experiment – never interpret!” This statement by sound philosopher Pascale Criton perfectly characterises the working practices of the long-standing companions of Ensemble Dedalus, being presented in various portrait concerts as part of MaerzMusik 2026. With the composer Peter Ablinger, who died in 2025, the ensemble honours a radical thinker and sceptic of sound. His works, that deal with the phenomenon of interruption, are juxtaposed with current compositions by Criton, which explore the materiality of sound.
