Gordon Kampe: tanzen!

for electric violin, Hohner Clavinet, Philicorda organ and Hohner String Melody

(2021)

In the wonderful Wim Wenders film about Pina Bausch it says »Dance, dance, otherwise we are lost!«–I agree, especially in these dark times, wholeheartedly! We must dance! I am, unfortunately, a miserable dancer. But I do it anyway, secretly. With the daughter, when the Sunday Tatort jingle sounds, alone in the study, when the Rosenkavaliersuite drives me crazy. Sitting in the car, I am all alone the four little swans. I also admire dancers! How an incredible expression can be achieved with mere muscle tension or a look, great! That’s why the piece is a dance theater in a small space! Always similar figures jump back and forth, sometimes elegant, sometimes riotous. What was appealing to me about these crazy instruments, which I fell in love with in shock, was not only their sound. Also to consider that sometimes one hand will play on this instrument while the foot is doing something and the other hand is already on its way somewhere else… I always saw that in front of me and thought: actually everything is dance! The piece is dedicated to the two dancers Hannah Weirich and Ulrich Löffler!
