„Strange cosmos of higher nonsense and deeper wisdom (…) quirky, bizarre, surreal – or simply just crazy.“ (LVZ)

The two land machine symphonists Erwin Stache and Henry Schneider, who can be experienced every year at the „Stelzenfestspielen Bei Reuth“, present once again their celebrated joint program at the Schaubühne, where all sorts of possible and impossible instruments resonate. A sewing machine breathes, paper rustles, air pumps echo throughout the room. Rare instruments like the Nyckelharpa or Nagelgeige are interwoven with electronic self-constructions. Lots of action, lots of sound and music – a machine symphony with traditional roots. And in the end, a human becomes a sound source themselves. Their pulse, their breathing, their chewing serve as accompaniment to the melody of the violin, until the organ pipes, which just moments ago were the voices of six cuckoo clocks, are coupled to balloons and fly upwards.

Erwin Stache is a musician, composer, sound artist and object builder. With installations, concerts, and performances, he has participated in many important festivals. His installations combine sound and music with visual artistic elements and are mostly based on a humorous estrangement of everyday occurrences. He invents new musical instruments, realizes permanent installations in public spaces, and builds audio play areas where play equipment transforms into sound objects.

Henry Schneider studied viola at the Weimar University of Music. Since 1979, he has been a member of the Gewandhaus Orchestra Leipzig. In 1993, he founded the „Stelzenfestspiele Bei Reuth“.
