Traum @ PACMF

Isambard Khroustaliov will be re-interpreting his soundtrack to Martin Hampton’s epic film ‘Traum’ live, on Saturday 27th February as part of the Interface III event at the Peninsula Arts Contemporary Music Festival in Plymouth.

The film, which depicts the demise of the landscape surrounding the Lea Valley shortly before its compulsory acquisition for the London Olympics, is a chilling portrait of how easily despondency and despair can set in when communities are faced with such large scale turmoil and uncertainly.

2010

We’re currently putting the finishing touches to our next collective release; a recording from the Stoke Newington Airport concert back in May. It will be coming out in the new year as a free download, so look out for it … Also some more dates coming up in Berlin and the threat of a Not Applicable / Kammer Klang festival in 2010 … In the mean time, a big thanks to everyone out there for your support this year and all the best for 2010 !

Disorder At The Border

On Saturday 24th October @ 7pm, Joe Kassman-Tod’s radio programme ‘Disorder at the Border’ on Resonance 104.4FM features a profile on Lucy Railton’s Kammer Klang that includes performances of Xenakis and Finnissy and an unreleased piece by Isambard Khroustaliov. The piece was originally made as an accompaniment to Alice Scott’s silent film ‘Pink’; a grainy portrait of the surreal antics of flamingoes in the Camargue which was first shown at Kammer Klang #1 in 2008. You can also see new work by Isambard Khroustaliov featuring Lucy Railton and Maurizio Ravalico at Kammer Klang #11 on Tuesday 27th October, details here.
