kraftwerk re:werk is a ground-breaking new musical experiment, taking Kraftwerk’s iconic album Trans-Europe Express as the starting point for a thrilling symphonic trip, created by composers Charlotte Harding and Lloyd Coleman.
A new hybrid music as much about Ligeti’s earbending soundscapes as late 70’s beats – all scored for a 39 piece ensemble – kraftwerk re:werk is an intoxicating mix of symphonic and electronic instruments, from drum machines, to bass oboes and electro harps. Each and every sound made onstage is amplified to the max, turning the orchestra into a giant synthesizer in which those sounds are crushed, filtered and distorted.
