Our means of spreading happiness

From May 12th to June 6th we will get the Viennese station Handelskai to swing.

TONIKUM HANDELSKAI is a SHIFT project by the ensemble Studio Dan. The basic idea is the long-term musical live performance, the installation of sound sculptures and the associated music education in and around the Handelskai train station, a high-frequency location. Starting from small actions at all corners, individual sounds spread to a large, unmistakable and audible overall performance. People experience art (music, installation, sound installation, performance, dance) "in passing". The otherwise functional location appears in a new light, a district is made to vibrate.

Peter Kutin and Florian Kindlinger make Japanese rice cookers ring, Christian F. Schiller combines the howling of ordinary handheld sirens with the sound of an instrumental ensemble. In a cargo container that has been transformed into a mini club, Susanna Gartmayer and Martin Siewert present the program designed as part of their carte blanche in the evening. In the same place, a video game music installation by Christof Ressi invites you to join in during the day.

In an unprecedented act of strength, the musicians of the ensembles Studio Dan play in all imaginable combinations, from solo to small orchestra, over three weeks, at all corners of the project area. Flashmob-like mini concerts and announced performances feature classics of contemporary music such as James Tenney's Postal Pieces as well as actual music from Austria by Viola Falb and Michael Tiefenbacher. In large-format concerts, both new pieces by a.o. Vincent Pongracz, as well as programs (Julius Eastman, SOS) from the repertoire of the ensemble.

The musical spectrum is also expanded to include collaborations with Eva Maria Schaller (dance and choreography), Karolina Preuschl (spoken word), Michael Moser and Nik Hummer (installation), and performances by - also - international guests such as Ceren Oran (sound painting, dance ), Matthias Muche (trombone) and the ensemble STUDIO PERCUSSION Graz.

Another constant of the project is the music-mediating work before and during the course of the project. Cooperations with the MUK (Music and Art University of the City of Vienna), the ZMV (Center for Music Education) and the surrounding elementary schools and youth centers of the City of Vienna have been established.
