"Telefax Score No. 1" records all the sounds of an ordinary fax transmission sent from Berlin to London on 8 September, 2016. The entirety of the communication between the two fax machines – normally sent over the telephone lines within seconds as sequences of tones – has been recorded, slowed down to an appropriate speed and transcribed into a composition for 16 instruments.
The world premiere took place in half instrumentation on 9 April 2024 at the Künstlerhaus Palais Thurn und Taxis in Bregenz, Austria.
The concert was performed by:
Tabea Böhringer and Markus Beer – Clarinet
Maria Lalazarova and Bálint Böjtös – Oboe
Verena Jungwirth and Juan Gómez– Cello
Eugen Rigger and Alexander Wegner – Trombone
Conducted by Martin Deuring
