Jörg Widmann: 180 beats per minute | Manchester Collective

Take a breath and prepare for this frenzied sextet.

Full of driving basslines, wild toplines and a blistering pace, you’d be forgiven for feeling the same heady energy of one of the techno club nights that Jörg Widmann drew inspiration from back when he composed this piece in 1993.

Disorientating rhythms twist and turn like a crazed rollercoaster that never settles, and the music cries out for joy as it reaches terminal velocity.

“The work makes no claims to be more than the sum of its parts – the sheer enjoyment of rhythm." —Jörg Widmann
