SPECTRUM XXI festival is the only worldwide event dedicated to spectral music - one of the major trends in experimental and contemporary music. The festival will hold its tenth edition in 2016 with concerts in London, Berlin and Paris. Spectralism is a leading idea, a true paradigm in today's music, which brings together different musical trends, however, with similar concerns on sound, timbre, color, harmonic spectrum.
Hyperion Ensemble was founded in 1976 in Bucharest by Iancu Dumitrescu and Ana-Maria Avram with the intention of exploring connections between archaic Romanian folk music -- Byzantine music, folk traditions collected by Bartok, etc. -- and contemporary avant-garde composition. It was described by The Wire as "a living workshop, a constant source of ideas and sounds." Over the years, Hyperion has come to be known for its transformational, hyper-spectralist, and acousmatic performances. The group has performed internationally and premiered most of the major works by Dumitrescu and Avram, who compose both individually and collaboratively, as well as by other Romanian composers. Although the ensemble has undergone transformations in personnel since its early days, it has remained consistent in philosophy and intention. Its many members come from seven different countries, including Romania, Israel, the U.K, the U.S., France, and Germany. Members are: Tim Hodgkinson (clarinet, bass clarinet), Yoni Silver (bass clarinet, violin), Andrei Kivu(cello, tuba, trumpet), Edward Lucas (trombone), Colin Hacklander (percussion), Mircea Ardeleanu (percussion), Cosmin Postolache (percussion, metallic objects), Tijana Stankovic and Diana Miron (violin), Zsolt Sores (viola), Albert Markos (cello), Zachary Rowden, Shmil Frankel and Lurentio Cotac (double-bass), Guillaume Ollendorff (e-guitar). Conductors: Iancu Dumitrescu, Ana-Maria Avram.
