Kronstorf

David Wagner is collecting audio donations of short motifs from the 9 Bruckner symphonies on video from the residents of the streets, alleys, paths and squares throughout Upper Austria once frequented by Bruckner. He is using them to create a 9-minute compilation of footage that depicts a representative cross-section of Bruckner's creative symphonic work. He has the support of a randomly generated cross-section of the population from the entire state of Upper-Austria.

In this way 72 short videos are produced. The actual "performance" is filmed as is the journey itself, making contact with the people, the rehearsals and various "making of" scenes. These are then edited to make a film which also lasts for around 9 minutes.

Just like Anton Bruckner, David Wagner navigates his way through the countryside without the need for an engine. With a velocipede as his means of transport, he reaches all of the 72 stations on his Bruckner Road Tour without generating any CO2 thus ensuring that the spirit of Bruckner, which still hovers above the land above the River Enns, remains undisturbed by  pollutants .

David Wagner is looking forward to the company of fellow cyclists along the route to sweeten some of the kilometres he has to cover on these 1,500 kilometres through Upper Austria.

In Kronstorf, Anton Bruckner, the 19-year-old school assistant, felt "as if he was in heaven" . From 1843 to 1845, he called as little as  6 square meters his own and this is where he lived and composed. His first work actually dates from this period when he officially referred to himself as a "composer" for the first time. Experience the "narrowness of the space" in which Bruckner lived on the open day, meet Bruckner "in heaven", find out what Anton Bruckner has to do with Rudolf Kirchschläger and Florian Födermayr.

The young Anton Bruckner lived and worked in Kronstorf for almost three years and felt "like he was in heaven". On October 11, 1896, he died in Vienna after an eventful life as a famous composer. On the day of Bruckner's death, we try to get closer to the diversity of his and our heaven with music and texts beyond the boundaries of his compositions. Let's climb this ladder to heaven together with Christian Wirth and Andreas Etlinger!
