IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN

The performance by the quartet from Berlin examines the process of how a new quality is formed through language, visuality, instru- mental music, and movement.
How does Bruckner’s 7th Symphony look when transmitted through the mimicry of a listener? Can the movements of a musician be translated into light? In If you know what I mean the ensemble DieOrdnungDerDinge researches possibilities of translating music into different media and forms. Visualizing sounds, acoustically interpreting images… In the pieces presented, these seemingly straightforward transpositions yield new, unexpected results, raising the question of whether translation is actually possible at all, and unveiling the unmistakable role that our own expectations and experiences play in the process of perception.
