The Radiokoor takes you to the Rothko Chapel with a meditative concert around the perception of time and provoking a sense of temporal disorientation.
At the opening of the Rothko Chapel, Feldman received a request to compose an homage to his friend Mark Rothko – who had died in the meantime. Visual artists like Rothko had a major impact on Feldman: he wrote music as if he were filling up a canvas. Rather than composing, he assembled. Feldman’s sound in born and ebbs away again, and flows along unobstructed – now and then interrupted by echoing silences. And so Feldman, like Rothko and his paintings, draws the viewer into his world.
