Nosferatu - Eine Symphonie des Grauens
Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau (Germany 1922)
Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau's "Nosferatu - A Symphony of Horror" is one of the most haunting films in cinema history. Groundbreaking at the time, it has lost none of its fascination to this day.
To mark the 100th anniversary of the Berlin premiered on March 4, 1922, ZDF/ARTE commissioned composer Olav Lervik (*1982 in Strasbourg) to write a new score inspired by the original themes from Hans Erdmann.

Ensemble der/gelbe/klang
Armando Merino, conductor
A production of Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung and ZDF/ARTE
in cooperation with Tiroler Festspiele Erl and 2eleven music film,
sponsored by the Cultural Department of the City of Munich.
INTERACTIVE MUSIC & SOUND
This project aims to explore the possible influence of game mechanics on collaborative music making in a virtual reality environment by blending the setting of a concert with elements known from game design. The musicians play on virtual instruments in a VR environment. They create and perform music that is represented through objects which visualize their musical content in real time. The position of these objects in the VR environment is displayed through surround sound for the public and binaural mix downs for each musician. A game jockey leads the way through this VR environment as a virtual player, while the public can listen and observe his movements on a screen. During the performance the public can play mini games to interact with the musicians through the game jockey.
