mystified / demystified brings together a wide spectrum of diverse works - in Andys Skordis ou....da a mystical ritual evokes an ancient ghost, while Alessandro Baticci’s Le Sabbie Dure unfolds as a psychedelic journey through a desert landscape. A new soundtrack for Peter Tscherkassky’s experimental film classic Dreamwork by Mirela Ivicevic summons the inner ghosts that lie deep within every human soul. In skotom.orchesterstueck, Sarah Nemtsov traces the blind spots of perception, weaving ensemble and electronics into an ethereal and enigmatic sonic landscape. These transcendental musical experiences are juxtaposed with Alexander Schubert’s sensor-driven, hyper-digital power play Serious Smile — an ironic commentary on virtuosity and technology—and Matthias Kranebitter’s nihilistic study no. 7, a loose catalogue of musical and non-musical, humorous and playful narrative elements inspired by the art theories of Jean Dubuffet.
