Grand ambitions for Sebastian Berweck
Experimental pianist Sebastian Berweck is the star of the first CD release from Huddersfield Contemporary Records, a new label with links to hcmf//.
Extended Piano sees Berweck tackle compositions by James Saunders, Benjamin Lang, Michael Maierhof, Thomas Wenk and Johannes Kriedler. As the album title suggests, the instrument is augmented by preparations and analogue electronics to reveal ‘shadow aspects’ of the sound.
Sebastian Berweck has appeared as a soloist at numerous festivals and events, including ISCM World Music days, the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival and the Damstadt Summer Courses. He is co-founder of the composing/performing collective stock11.de and has commissioned and premiered more than 100 works.
Berweck is currently researching questions of performance in piano and electronics at CeReNeM, the University of Huddersfield’s Centre for Research in New Music. CeReNeM has teamed up with Huddersfield University Press to form Huddersfield Contemporary Records, which will release CDs and DVDs by the staff and postgraduates of the department and by visiting artists.
