for ensemble and motion detectors that play a disturbing sound recording as soon as the audience does not move in a sufficiently disturbing way.

Protonwerk is the support platform for contemporary music created by Ensemble Proton Bern. For «Protonwerk No. 12 – true participation», concepts were sought that rethink the role of the «listener»: the audience becomes an essential part of the performance and the concert thus a true community experience.

Musically, the audience can expect atmospheric sound carpets, complex choreographies and meditative sounds combined with some surprise moments.

Six young composers were selected for a commissioned composition. A workshop and an intensive rehearsal phase before the concert allow the composers to carefully examine the works and their realization.
