Reinterpretation of Dick Higgins' Twenty-Six Mountains

Beni Brachtel & Dominik Lekavski will present a live set that reinterprets Dick Higgins’ score titled “Twenty-Six Mountains for Viewing the Sunset From (1981)”. The score, sourced from Archive Artist Publications in Munich in collaboration with Hubert Kretschmer, will be featured in the PARA curated issue of @20seconds_mag

The composition is a cycle of twenty-six one-minute pieces for a small ensemble. The score uses a unique graphic notation, focusing on desired textures and patterns. Each movement is characterized by descriptions of mountains, which may or may not be spoken during the performance.

The photos provide a glimpse into the design process of the upcoming edition of 20seconds Magazine, which is currently being worked on by Carina Güttler and Carlota Barberan Madruga, curated by PARA. Photos by: Mathias Reitz Zausinger
