Ashley Hribar plays Dr Caligari: Musical Rebirth of a Silent Film Legend
selected for the "Special Projects" series by agency KD Schmid

The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (Wiene, 1920), one of cinema’s most influential Expressionist silent horror films, celebrates its 100th year. Australian pianist/composer Ashley Hribar performs on an amplified piano (inside and out) plus electronics, Moog DFAM drum machine, bells, eggs shakers and even a toilet brush! Witnessing Hribar is indeed a spectacle in itself. Our hero, Francis, grapples with the deranged Caligari in a world that is not quite what it seems. Who is responsible for the mysteriously coincidental crimes that take place? Only the audience is left to decide. Watch and listen to Ashley luring his audience into the dark depths of this quirky story, creating colourful landscapes of sound, funnier, scarier and more hauntingly bizarre than ever imaginable.

The "Sound and  Colour in Scriabin's Piano Sonatas"  documentary is here!

20/2/2018

0 Comments

 
This documentary includes highlights from the 2017 European Tour "Sound and Colour in Scriabin's Piano Sonatas", in a series of 7 concerts given at Universities across Germany, Austria and Luxembourg. It includes introductory speeches, Q&As and master classes featuring pianists Konstantin Shamray, Mekhla Kumar, Stefan Ammer and myself. The performances explore Scriabin's synaethsesia together with highly individual interpretations of his 10 piano sonatas, each subtly enhanced by unique videos of Australian opals  projected onto the interiors walls of each venue. This project gratefully acknowledges the generous support from the University of Adelaide, The Ukaria Foundation, Recitals Australia, Jacqueline Wander and Maria Sbizzirri (project Coordinator) and countless donations from private sponsors.

The 2017 European  Tour   "Sound  and  Colour in Scriabin's Piano  Sonatas"

24/11/2017

0 Comments

 
In collaboration with my dear colleagues and friends, Mekhla Kumar, Konstantin Shamray and Stefan Ammer, this multi-media project involved the performance of Scriabin's 10 piano sonatas enhanced with projected opal visualisations. Inspired by  my lifelong fascination for this national Australian gemstone, the beautiful changing colours that accompanied each sonata were intended to emulate Scriabin's Synaesthetic ability, with the aim to create, much like his vision for 'The Mysterium', a fully immersive experience. The seven performances, which included  masterclasses, lessons and public Q & A discussions, were given at the music  Universities of Karlsruhe, Freiburg and Rostock (Germany ); The Mozarteum in Salzburg, the Music University in Graz,   the Bösendorfersaal in Vienna (Austria) and at the Conservatorium in Luxembourg.  We gratefully acknowledge the kind generosity of our sponsors; The University  of Adelaide; The Ukaria Foundation;  Jacqueline Wander; Maria Spizziri;  Recitals Australia (auspicing body); and the many private donors   who contributed to help make this project possible.
Stay tuned for the 2017 Scriabin Tour documentary...!
