The objective of this mentorship program is to interrelate the work of artist
Jean Tinguely with the dynamic percussion world: Tinguely’s art, with his
whimsical kinetic sculptures, which are happy, playful, creative, melancholy
and full of humor and the eclectical Klangkörper-expression of the percussion
universe. This workshop program has the aim to globally emphasize and
diffuse Tinguely's work. Percussion may be the closest instrument to his
rich spreading thinking, given the intrinsic sound that many of Tinguely's works
have in their essence, emphasizing the desire of the Swiss artist in many of his
works, some of them must be sound activated to be fully understood by the
audience. Discovering Tingely’s art and being inspired by it will be a key
element of this mentorship program.
4 advanced student composers will be selected. This 4 composers will be tutored by David Moliner in monthly individual-collective online meetings where they will be guided through different technical sections of percussion such as: Theoretical Approaches of Percussion, Percussion Techniques, Percussion History Writing, Percussion Historical Solo Works, Tinguely and percussion world influence as well as Composition Lessons. One collective meeting will take place at the Tinguely Museum so that the selected composers can analyze Tinguely's work and be inspired by it. This encounter would be necessary also for the conception of the work they are going to write for percussion and the use of the space in the museum in order to plan the concert set.
A single concert is planned at the museum during the end of June 2023 (exact date to be announced)
