For more than ten years the Swiss-Georgian Festival »Close Encounters« has brought together young and established musicians from Switzerland and Georgia. One hears current music, with protagonists from the experimental electronic scene of both countries, with improvising musicians and with an ensemble that moves between classical and contemporary music.
The compositions by Peter Conradin Zumthor and Vera Kappeler were created on behalf of the Mondrian Ensemble for the joint project «Strange Songs». As the title suggests, the music is a sort of trip along the border between the known and the foreign, between folklore and strictly classical music, playful and sometimes sad enough that it makes you want you cry.
