Splitter Orchester is returning to silent green’s iconic Kuppelhalle for the fourth and final installment of its site specific concert series. The orchestra has played in this architecture before, and those who have been there in November 2019 know what they are in for. Back then the orchestra was distributed on the balconies of Kuppelhalle, creating two circles stacked over each other high above the audience’s heads. The setup allowed for a crystal clear sound perception for everyone in the space, both musician and listener alike. As the many axes of listening unfolded, so did a massive piece of music, considered by many to be one of the best performances of Splitter Orchester to date. The recording of Vortex has been released on last year’s 3CD compilation splitter musik, out on Hyperdelia.
Though completely improvised, the music was strangely accompanied by the feeling that this was not an improvisation at all - but rather a delicately thought out work of music, created in the moment by a collective consciousness.
The return of Splitter Orchester to Kuppelhalle is not about trying to recreate this particular moment, but about revisiting the space with the distance of the last six years that have passed. The world and the orchestra have changed radically since 2019, nothing is the same anymore. This disposition together with a space that is nothing short of perfect to experience the sheer musical power of Splitter Orchester is the recipe for this very special evening, marking the finale of Splitters 2025 site specific concert series.
