Die Jagd nach dem Meteor (The Hunt for the Meteor)

Pierre Henry, a pupil of Nadia Boulanger and Olivier Messiaen, was a pioneer of musique concrète, a compositional technique in which recordings of sounds and everyday noises are distorted by montage, alteration of playback speed and loops. In Comme une symphonie, envoi à Jules Verne of 2005 each of the eight parts of the one-hour work is devoted to a novel by Jules Verne, whereby noises and electronic sounds enter into a dialogue with more or less fragmented quotes from all the numbered Bruckner symphonies. Throughout the third part, which relates to Verne's The hunt for the meteor, there is a further, though cryptic connection to Bruckner, whom Nikolaus Harnoncourt described as a „Meteor“ which literally „exploded into musical history“. 

After the concert the Posthof DJ team will go hunting for remnants of the Bruckner meteor in current club music, showing that Bruckner and danceable beats are no contradiction – but also that Bruckner and techno, with their additive arrangement of short motives and similar rhythmic structuring of musical material have more in common than one might suppose.
