To my surprised question – in which the character of a traditional sheet music and book collector appeared – as to what would happen with his sheet music, books and other things, he simply replied: he does not possess any of those. Everything he owns is on his computer. He only had to take that and his tablas – all of his material belongings." Balázs Horváth
The self-introduction from Stefan Keller at the Transparent Sound Festival showcases these valuables through the compositions: the concert involves clarinet-electronics and tabla-electronics duos, Keller presents himself as a composer as well as a performer. He will play on the tabla, paired with live electronics. All electronic sounds are cooperating with his tabla playing in a very organic way, since the sounds of the tabla are controlling the computer-driven electronic sounds. After the concert we will talk with the composer, discussing with him the performed pieces.
