Flying Pictures at an Exhibition (2019)

The music to the breakdance and streetart performance is a blast. Especially because electronic "shredder tools" are deliberately not used here, nothing is mixed or sampled. This is living, innovative and contemporary music culture. This Mussorgsky grooves - even unplugged

"Excellence between Hip Hop and Classic
The composer brothers Vivan and Ketan Bhatti describe their composition as overwriting. As with a palimpset, in which the original still shines through, one can still recognize Mussorgsky's "Pictures of an Exhibition" within the composition of the Bhatti brothers similar to the adaptation of Ravel. And yet something completely new has emerged. A powerful, sometimes haunting new composition that’s presented very lively by the Berlin Musik Ensemble and clearly state that the brothers are excellent composers. At the interface between classical, electronica and hip-hop, Vivan Bhatti leads the ensemble safely through the unfamiliar sounds. Not a single electronic beat is used. All sounds are being created by the musicians acoustically like the sound of a snare drum by the bass clarinet, or the bass drum sound by the tuba. You have to look twice to be really sure that the ensemble on stage performs with classical instruments. "
