The 107th performance in the do trans-Art series features the Salzburg jazz saxophonist Paul Eiser. Paul Eiser plays soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones and moves between jazz and contemporary music. The former student of Jakob Aistleitner, Peter Fürhapter and Kurt Gersdorf is now a member of the band 4&more, the niM Orchestra in Salzburg and co-curator of the improvisation series niM and Hear at Jazzit. On May 8th, the artists Astrid Rieder and Paul Eiser will meet live in front of an audience through the interplay of music and abstract drawing.

do trans-Art 2025
with Astrid Rieder
In 2016, Astrid Rieder created the monthly performance series do trans-Art in her studio at Künstlerhaus Salzburg, which she has since continued in her studio in Wals, Salzburg: On the second Thursday of every month, Astrid Rieder invites a musician from the field of new music to her studio to enter into an artistic, transdisciplinary dialogue in front of an audience. For 40 minutes, two artists interact between abstract drawing and new music, without a score, without rehearsals and without thematic guidelines. The drawing is neither a performance instruction nor a visualisation of the sounds played. Likewise, the sound is not a musicalisation of the drawing. Rather, the performance is a simultaneous action and reaction, a bi-directional dialogue based on mutual inspiration, in which the arts meet without any hierarchy.
Despite many obstacles, the performance series do trans-Art has taken place every second Thursday of the month without interruption since 2016. After each performance, the large-scale drawing, a documentary video and an audio recording remain. After the performance, the audio recording (consisting of the musical part and the sounds created during the drawing process) can be heard on Astrid Rieder's radio programme Atelier für neue Musik / trans-Art on radiofabrik and RadioFro, together with a conversation with her performance partner.
