Stemeseder-Lillinger – Penumbra II (Plaist Records – 2025)
Monday, June 2 @ 6:30 PM
We will gather on this late spring Monday evening to listen to Stemeseder-Lillinger’s latest effort, Penumbra II, to be released on Plaist Records later this month.
In presence of the Artists, STEMESEDER-LILLINGER a collaborative producer-duo of composer-performers Elias Stemeseder (b. 1990) and Christian Lillinger (b. 1984).
Drawing from various strains of contemporary and historic music and sound art practices, the duo’s work makes use of a wealth of compositional strategies, instruments, and production methods, seeking to create an uncompromisingly personal sonic idiom through synthesis of disparate modes of musical thought. This has been documented via the LP releases PENUMBRA, ANTUMBRA, and the upcoming PENUMBRA II (all on Plaist Records), as well as through a series of video works. A central pillar of the duo’s artistic practice is collaboration with contemporaries, which has been documented in their UMBRA catalogue on Intakt Records and features guest artists such as Craig Taborn, Peter Evans, and DoYeon Kim. Their work has been presented at unerhört! (Zürich, Switzerland), BIMHUIS 50 (Amsterdam, Netherlands), Casa del Libro UNAM (Mexico City), De/Semble (Vienna, Austria), Cerkno (Slovenia), A L’Arme! (Berlin, Germany), and Schwere Reiter (Munich, Germany), among others.
