Hydrophilia - Gegen den Strom
Konzert mit 112 Schiffshörnern auf zwei Schubbooten.
Die mittelalterliche Wawel Burg war eine reizvolle Szenerie für das Konzert der 112 chromatisch gestimmten Schiffshörner und Druckluftpfeifen. Die Instrumente waren auf zwei wendigen Schubbooten installiert, die damit zu zwei schwimmenden "Klanginseln" umfunktioniert wurden. Je mehr sich die Schiffe näherten um so energetischer und rhythmischer wurde die Komposition. In der Mitte verbanden sich die Schiffe zu einem "Tandem". Nach der "Konjunktion" der beiden Schiffe, entfaltete die Musik ein wahres Feuerwerk aus klanglich-melodischen Texturen, die von Gebäudefassaden, Wasserflächen und dem offenen Raum zurückgeworfen wurden.

Hydrophilia - Against the stream, Concert for 2 ships and 112 ship horns.
In September 2011 a great event took place at the Vistula river. A concert for 2 ships and 112 ship horns (Gegen der Storm -- Against the stream) by Christof Schläger: an original composition performed by 112 ship horns installed on two ships sailing on the Vistula river bend by Wawel Castle, between the Dębnicki and Grunwaldzki bridges. A special choreography for the ships was conceptualized by the dramatic adviser Marjon Smit.
The instruments installed on the ships created a moving sound installation, playing sounds from old music to incredibly energetic rhythmical structures, producing an attractive firework of aural textures, with melodies and rhythms reflecting off the water's surface and resonating in the open space of the main river current. The ships came closer and moved away, creating figures on water that was a very important spatial element of the gradually developing composition that lasts over an hour.

The project was sponsered by the City of Krakow in cooperation with the Krakow Festival Office, the Muzyka Centrum, the German Federal State NRW and the Goethe Institute Krakow.
