Established in 1989, the Erste Bank annually awards an exceptional composer in honor of his / her creative work. In collaboration with Klangforum Wien the Erste Bank Composition Award includes performances of the awarded composition with and by Klangforum Wien as part of the
Wien Modern festival and the release of a portrait album.
Christof Ressi is a composer, arranger, software developer and multimedia artist and price-winner in 2021. The album short stories contains three pieces: the awarded piece short stories (Tim Anderson and Klangforum Wien), Am Anfang war das A and Arcade|Arcadia, both pieces performed by Black Page Orchestra.
In pop culture, the term “crossover” is used when musicians
or artists combine different music styles, genres or compositional techniques. Christof Ressi goes one step further than a crossover: elements of classical and new music are just as present as elements of 1990’s Eurodance and sound effects of old computer games. And this not only in the sense of referring to something past but in the sense of referring,
actualizing and re-assembling. Facing the nostalgic and contemporary elements present in Ressi’s music it seems appropriate to talk about a hyper-accelerated hauntological glitch pop aesthetic. |
