Orchestral Whifftracks
Music & Smell, with the Berlin Improvisers Orchestra and pieces by Stephen Crowe

During the first part of the concert, the composer Stephen Crowe presented the first musically and olfactorily native pieces, commissioned for Osmodrama: „Neon Lizard“ and „Find Warm Wind Farm“ in collaboration with Wolfgang Georgsdorf (smells).
In the second part of the concert, the sound body of the Berlin Improvisers Orchestra interacted with an administration of smell sequences conceptualized specifically for this encounter: in „Orchestral Whifftracks“ earth sounds meet green scents, water music encounters a breath of ocean. Rural and urban spheres, orchestral and full of smells, associative and contrapuntal. An immersive, symphonic and synosmatic concert.
