This year, music at the "Szenenwechsel" festival can be experienced as the art of "co-operation". This can be seen in proven formats with partner institutions such as the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra and the Jazz Club Lucerne, but also in the first-time collaboration with the "All Inclusive Festival" of the sister department Design Film Art. This festival by students of the Bachelor of Art and Communication also takes place once a year.
Valentin Gloor, Director of the Department of Music and Director of the Szenenwechsel music festival, explains that cooperation across the boundaries of disciplines and departments is intended to promote forms of contact with other art forms. "Mutual inspiration, irritation and broadening of students’ horizons are allowed, indeed encouraged." This has resulted in collaborative student projects that will be performed as interventions at the All Inclusive Festival in Viscosistadt. A soundwalk also connects the two festivals and HSLU locations.

Minimoog meets pig organ
There are myths surrounding the pig organ. According to legend, the instrument was once introduced at the French court to amuse the king. The organ consisted of a large box in which pigs were crammed according to size. The "organist" pulled their tails at the touch of a button to make them squeal. The version used at the change of scene has nothing to do with such cruelty to animals, of course, but alludes to a derogatory term for the Hammond organ. In composer Enno Poppe’s concert, this modern pig organ meets the legendary Minimoog synthesizer from the 1970s.Remote Now Orchestra
The concert, directed by two HSLU lecturers, Hans-Peter Pfammatter (jazz piano, synths, electronics) and Julian Sartorius (drums), features a nine-piece improvisation orchestra that is remote-controlled in real time.Tuning in, sliding out
