Suite in 6 movements for 12-piece orchestra

• Seven brushstrokes, dark and light steps
• Point and line to plane
• Darkwood, light wood, gold becomes silver
• Barcodes and collectives
• Measuring the canvas, textures and unfolding
• The simple song and the infernal sound

A new, sonorous mosaic piece in Norbert Stein’s constantly growing oeuvre: Pata Kandinsky. Once again, the saxophonist and composer creates “staged spaces” in which he merely sets moods for his instrumentalists to inspire them to solo, free, improvised movements.

This time, the starting point for Norbert Stein’s orchestral work, rich in imagery, are the creative thoughts of the painter Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944), which the co-founder of the “Blauer Reiter” group and later Bauhaus master made the basis of his abstract art. Impulses for Stein’s own sound figures, spaces, melodies, bundled in a flow of rhythms, harmonies and the magnetic lines of patamelodies.
