"Seven Leaves" - An interactive musical narrative
 
A story about lost love, an evil witch, an enchanted tree, and the leaves that hung, but never grew. From the collection of old tales "Dark Tales from the Woods" by Daniel Morden.
 
 The performance is possible in English, German and French.
 
 Composition:
 Christian Klinkenberg
 
 The musicians:
 Nora-Louise Müller: Bohlen-Pierce Clarinet
 Todd Harrop: Bohlen-Pierce Chimes

The scale: The Bohlen Pierce scale is a 13-step non octave scale which is tempered to the perfect-twelfth (3/1). For this reason, the musicians have specially constructed instruments (clarinet, keyboard, chimes). The string instruments (e-guitar, bass, violin) also need to retune their strings and have to increase the spacing of the fingerings or frets by about half.
 
The app: The special feature of this performance: the audience can play along via an app.
