Today’s music is overly intellectual? The 2025 festival rainy days grabs this cliché by the throat, choosing «bodies» as its theme. Bodies and physicality have always interested the arts. Especially in music, the subject is ambiguous, the idea that the body cannot do without spirit, nor the spirit without the body, more than a bon mot. The multitude of approaches to the body and bodies is reflected in the festival’s programme, once again designed for diehard fans of contemporary music and those who are simply curious alike, offering something for almost all age groups.

The artists

A double bass and a bass clarinet

trace the meeting points between gesture, sound, and presence. The works involved explore the relationship between improvisation and notation. The composer’s body. The improviser’s body. How instrumentalists connect to each other and how they connect to the composer at a given moment of performance. In works by Angharad Davies, Jürg Frey, and Scott McLaughlin, as well as an improvisation, sound emerges not only from the instruments, but also from the spaces between the performers.
