And not only as an assistant to Karlheinz Stockhausen, but perhaps even more so as a member of the Oeldorf Group. Together with Mesías Maiguashca, Emmanuel Nunes, Pi-Hsien Chen, Joachim Kirst and Gaby Schumacher, the Oeldorf Group was seminal in experimenting with and composing for live played electronics.  The Oeldorf Group existed from about 1972/1973 to 1978/1979 and has since been largely forgotten. Practically none of the compositions during that time, such as Eötvös' "Airport Oeldorf", Maiguashca's "Oeldorf 8" or Nunes' "Oeldorf 75" have ever been performed again. During the Covid lockdown, Lange//Berweck//Lorenz initiated a research project on the Oeldorf Group, for which we interviewed some of the protagonists of the time. Here's our interview with Peter Eötvös in his Berlin apartment from 30 November 2021. Re*vi*si*ter The compositions by Christina Kubisch, Thomas Kessler and Pierre Jodlowski are part of our project Re*vi*si*ter, in which we are revisiting some of the music and the protagonists of live played electronic music of the 1980s.  Our next concerts in Wiesbaden, Lausanne and Zurich will feature a new composition of the Re*vi*si*ter series by Denis Dufour* and a work by Daniela Fantechi. We will be playing Re*vi*si*ter in 2025 at Hamburg Katarakt Festival, Kiel Frequenz_ Festival and Now! Festival Essen. The tour is kindly supported by Impuls neue Musik.  DENIS DUFOUR Ondulations (2023)* Uraufführung / 12’ DANIELA FANTECHI Within a Dream (2021) 12’ PIERRE JODLOWSKI Artefacts (2023)* 16’ CHRISTINA KUBISCH Electrified (2023)* 20’ THOMAS KESSLER La montagne ardente / Der brennende Berg (1974/2024)* 12’ “La montagne ardente”.
