LSD Oratorium

14 Pieces | Experimental Concertfilm | Story

 

 

Alice is celebrating her comeback after 50 years of illegal existence. What has survived from her beginnings, when she was young and powerful? Inspired by Albert Hofmann’s troubled child LSD, the up-and-coming artist & singer Elia Rediger wrote a storyboard and, in collaboration with the composer William Brittelle (NY), filmmaker Gregor Brändli (CH), conductor Etienne Abelin (CH) and BASEL SINFONIETTA orchestra, has created a total work of art.
In 70 minutes of music comprising 14 pieces, this LIVE LSD Oratorium combines a classical orchestra, a live audience, lights, cameras & Elia Rediger in an open filmset.

Elia Rediger

Singer, Author

is best known for his sonorous voice and dynamic stage persona, but little has emerged about his quiet work as a writer, his increasingly profound storytelling in music. At times he has been labelled Mr Nick Cave of the Swiss Alps (Radio RBB 1). But that does not quite describe the depth of his upcoming work. His artistic canvas has been growing more and more until now, when it moves effortlessly between the balladesque, the brutal, and the beautiful. Born to Swiss parents in 1985 in the Democratic Republic of Congo, he grew up in Basel, Switzerland. He started as a founding member of the Popart Band The bianca Story. In 2015 he became the house author of the Konzerttheater Bern, Switzerland. 
After having traveled he is currently working on his first solo album in Berlin.  This is his first collaboration with a classical orchestra.  Fond of classical music, Elia Rediger maintains what he calls a punk approach to singing. Aside from writing, he is associated with and the  author of various upcoming plays, radio shows, books and art performances expected in the nearby futur.

William Brittelle (NY)

Composer

William Brittelle (Official Website) is Brooklyn-based composer of post-genre electro-acoustic music.  Brittelle’s work is characterized by the melding of complex thematic ideas, rhythms, and formal structure with the visceral power and surface appeal of pop/rock music. Brittelle’s music has been the subject of features in The New York Times (Sunday Arts & Leisure), the Los Angeles Times, Time Out NY, and NPR’s All Things Considered.  His compositions have been presented across the U.S. and internationally., including the Festival Internacional in Chihuahua, Mexico, the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires by JACK Quartet, Pittsburgh’s Music on the Edge series, Seattle’s Town Hall, and the Ecstatic Music Festival at Merkin Hall. He serves on the faculty of The New School in New York City, teaching courses in Post-Genre Music and the Ethos of Punk.
