  Die Spinne ist ein ästhetisch veranlagtes Wesen. Aus feinsten Fäden und in überaus aufwändiger, sorgfältiger Kleinarbeit konstruiert sie ihre Netze passgenau in jeden Winkel. Als Solokünstlerin geht sie dabei aber auch manchmal eigenwillige Wege, weicht vom vorgegebenen Muster ab, zieht hier eine Ecke länger oder lässt dort einen Faden aus. Doch das Resultat spricht für sich: Ein wenngleich nicht rundes, so doch aus allen Perspektiven reizvolles Gespinst. Eben jene ergänzenden Gegensätze aus vorgegebener Struktur und bereichernden Abweichungen vereinen sich im Konzertabend The Spider as an Artist (mind you: not the other way round). In five solo pieces, the musicians weave nets only to tear them apart again straight away, testing the tonal tensile strength of their instrument and exhausting its possibilities to the last corner. In the work that gives the evening its title Franck Bedrossian an invisible poem by Emily Dickinson, as transparent as a spider's web, with the bow on the body of the cello, while Sarah Nemtsov Seven Thoughts - Her Kind is inspired by a poem by Anne Sexton.  Timpani Trek from Horacio Vaggione weaves a web of phase correlations and expands the timpani's sound space with strange materials and spatial electronics. With Bass Surface from Christof Dienz two players intervene in the solo performance of the double bass and enrich the performance with percussive elements, while in Alexander Kaisers The guitarist's fingers flit spider-like across the fretboard and through distorted outer-space soundscapes in the second piece.   The Spider as an Artist Has never been employed - Though his surpassing Merit Is freely certified By every Broom and Bridget Throughout a Christian Land - Neglected Son of Genius I take thee by the hand -   Emily Dickinson (1275)
