Magnus Lindberg x "Kraft"

"Kraft," hosted by the New York Philharmonic (but definitely not what you would come to expect from a philharmonic joint) is an hour and a half long piece composed by Magnus Lindberg and will be performed in NYC October 7, 8 and 12 at Avery Fisher Hall. Lindberg took inspiration from German post-punk music from the late 1970's and has created a work focusing on a dynamic range of sounds, mostly emitted from metal scraps taken from a junkyard. A giant gong will hang at the center of the crowd and the various sounds produced from the other instruments (both traditional- piano, violin, woodwind and nontraditional- metal scrapwork...) will be piped at the audience from all directions, creating an organized industrial sound landscape.
