In “Team Composition”, the works created can either be co-authored (such as score-based work between multiple composers, or between a composer and performers e.g. creating their own parts) or “open works” that leave room for performers to make creative contributions beyond the remit usually ascribed to “interpretation” (examples for “open works“ include e.g. instruction scores, graphic scores, pieces with modified stave/staff notation, and pieces involving improvisation).
This project draws on Matthew Shlomowitz’s experience as a composer of open scored work such as his “Letter Piece”-series, where players create their own content within guidelines. The PPCM ensemble, formed by students of the class for “Performance Practice in Contemporary Music” of Klangforum Wien at KUG, are an integral part of this programme, performing, but also co-developing projects. Dimitrios Polisoidis, coordinator of the PPCM course, in turn, assists in the realization of the “Team Composition”-project with his experience in conceptual music and improvisation projects with artists such as Peter Ablinger, Bernhard Lang and others. In addition to the PPCM ensemble, a number of individual instrumental participants from the Academy joined the project.
