Episode 13 of our series Freedom From Fear is out. Watch this episode with Swrej Newski and all others on youtube. Link in the description. Many thanks, @sergejnewski for sharing your insightful views! “I don't portray fear, but I deal with that discomfort, a certain confinement within a situation, that is perhaps overcome with the help of music,” Sergej Newski states in the new episode of 'Freedom from Fear.' But also outside of his often humanistic compositions, he thinks that, to deal with fear, now more than ever, international collaborations - not only between institutions in the field of music but also between people - have to be continued or even intensified. Sergej Newski studied composition in his hometown Moscow as well as in Dresden and Berlin. He was influenced by Friedrich Goldmann, Matthias Spahlinger and Helmut Lachenmann, among others. In his vocal music, which dominates his creative efforts, Newski works with a comprehensive arsenal of sounds composed of tones, noises and diverse forms between speech and song. He constantly finds new ways to give this material an order easily understood audibly, creating manifold transitions between the individual material levels. Sergej Newski‘s compositions are performed by leading interpreters of New Music and can regularly be heard at international festivals. #villaaurora #thomasmannhouse #sergejnewski #vatmh @no.agency @foundartists @villaaurorala @thomas_mann_house
