56
The name of the group is based on a fragment of the "I-Cing" book LU - "The Wanderer". The wanderer's home is a road. Meeting various people on the road he has to contact them and work with them, independent of their roots and traditions. The music of Ensemble 56 is improvisational compositiosns emerging in "common space", between each musicians' experiences and preferences, uniting various stylistic elements in a "transidiomatic aesthetic".
56-c'est le numéro du hexagrame LU-'pélerin' du livre "I-Cing". Pour un pélerin la maison c'est le chemin. En rencontrant des gens il doit apprendre a communiquer et a collaborer avec eux malgre leurs origine et tradition différentes. Les compositions improvisées du groupe Ensemble 56 naissent dans un "espace commun", entre l'expérience et les préférences de chacun de musiciens. La musique réunit les éléments des stylistiques diverses dans un paradigme d'une "esthétique transidiomatique".
56 ist Hexagramm des Buches "I-Ging", LU - "Der Wandere". Für einen Wanderer ist der Wag sein Zuhause. Während er verschiedene Leute auf dem Weg trifft, muss er lernen, mit ihnen in Kontakt zu treten und zusammenzuarbaiten, unabhängig von deren Herkunft und Tradition, die sie vertreten. Die Music der Gruppe bilde improvisierte Kompositionen, die im "gemainsamen Raum" zwischen den Erfahrungen und Präferenzen jedes der Musiker entstehen und Elemente verschiedener Stilistiken im Paradigma der "transidiomatischen Ästhetik" verbinden.
