Instrumentation within this electronic music orchestra of ten-ish musicians ranges from analog (THOMAS LEHN) and digital synthesizers (MARCUS SCHMICKLER), amplified objects and old analog equipment (GERT-JAN PRINS) to software designed especially for improvisation (PHIL DURRANT); the line up varies from improvisers who started in '60s (KEITH ROWE) to a younger generation of electronic musicians (CHRISTIAN FENNESZ); its aesthetics float from space-jazz (RAFAEL TORAL) to noise (PETER REHBERG). Their massive sound does not sacrifice sensitivity for site-specific acoustic and social restraints; new concepts for each performance guarantee thrills. Wigry was performed in a church on a dark and stormy night. Each musician, seated by the long table placed between two rows of benches, had a separate loudspeaker. Despite regular church reverb, there is no cloud of noise, just sounds in the air coming from somewhere by someone.
