Canada's Richie Hawtin creates music for the XXth Olympic Winter Games
Opening Ceremonies in Torino, Italy
Olympic ceremony producers K2006 have invited RICHIE HAWTIN to
collaborate with renowned Italian choreographer Enzo Cosimi on a key
section of the XXth Olympics Winter Games Opening Ceremony taking
place
in Torino on February 10th. The new composition titled “9:20” was
written
and produced by Hawtin and will accompany Cosimi’s provocative
choreography featuring famous Italian dancer Robert Bolle along
with dozens
of other dancers, performers and acrobats. Hawtin & Cosimi worked
together
in Hawtin’s Berlin studio to fully realize the drama and emotions
of Cosimi's
performers, building an evolving soundscape of sounds and effects to
accompany the different movements of Cosimi’s piece.
Ceremony producers have assembled an energetic program planned for the
opening ceremonies with a theme originating around the foundation
elements of rhythm, passion and speed. Internationally renowned
not only
for his music and global DJ performances, but also for his interest
in new
creative technologies, Hawtin is in perfect harmony with both the
concept and
its global audience.
“Enzo and I are very much interested in pushing boundaries, both as
artists
and for our audiences. Working together for the opening ceremonies
of the
Winter Games delivers the creative endeavor to not only entertain a
huge
audience, but to also introduce them to sights and sounds that they
may have
never experienced before," says Hawtin from his studio in Berlin.
Born in England and raised in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, Richie
Hawtin is
highly regarded internationally for his recordings both as Richie
Hawtin and
his pseudonym as Plastikman while on the world stage as one of
electronic
music’s most innovative and in demand performers. His recent album,
DE9 |
Transitions (Minus/Mute) boasts a CD mix plus DVD featuring a 5.1
surround
mix produced by Hawtin. Today, in between touring the globe, the
Canadian
producer spends time between his studios in Windsor, Canada and
Berlin,
Germany.
