In NACHTSPIEL, burning fuses and fire effects meet sounds and rhythms created in space by musician and composer Fritz Hauser. Composed sounds follow the randomly determined real sounds of the fireworks, contrasting, caricaturing or combining to form a symbiosis. It is not always clear when real sounds end and compositions or musical insertions begin. It is a poetic composition with many surprises.

Fritz Hauser is one of Switzerland's most important contemporary musicians and composers. Over the years, he has expanded the sound range of percussion in a wide variety of directions. The possibilities offered by 360° film are ideal for bringing his music closer to the audience visually. Hauser's passion for the constant search for new sounds can be felt and experienced.
