| National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, Chambers Street, Edinburgh EH1 1JF, United Kingdom Friday 9-Aug-13 10:00am Cybraphon We fully expect the emotion meter of Cybraphon, the autonomous emotional robot band in a box, to go off the scale this August. Cybraphon obsessively googles itself every 15 seconds to see how popular it is. The results affect its emotional state which in turn affects its playing style. Twenty-five antique instruments and 60 robotic actuators then play music that FOUND has composed for each emotion. Cybraphon is desperate for your attention. To cheer it up, like it on Facebook, follow it on Twitter, write about it on your blog, post a photo of it online, or mention it in a tweet. The artist collective FOUND, which created this veritable diva of a vitrine, has gifted Cybraphon to the nation. To mark the Edinburgh International Festival it joins the permanent collection of the National Museum of Scotland and goes on display by the Millennium Clock in the Grand Gallery. The BAFTA-winning automaton was commissioned by New Media Scotland. Image credit: FOUND | ||

| Edinburgh Playhouse, Edinburgh EH1 3AA, United Kingdom Saturday 10-Aug-13 08:00pm La Belle et la Bête Minimalist composer Philip Glass’s magical reimagining of Jean Cocteau’s 1946 La Belle et la Bête combines the classic black and white film with live performance in asophisticated work that is at once a touching fairy tale and a meditation on creativity. Removing the film’s original dialogue track and score by Georges Auric, Glass replaces them with his own scintillating music, played live by the Philip Glass Ensemble, the dialogue sung by vocalists synchonised live with the screen. The result boldly harnesses movie technology to create a stunning synthesis of opera and film, as Cocteau’s bewitching storytelling is matched by some of Glass’s most evocative music in an unforgettable tale of love triumphing over greed.

| Edinburgh Festival Theatre, Edinburgh EH8 9FT, United Kingdom Saturday 17-Aug-13 08:00pm Pierrot Lunaire (1962) This seminal work from American dancer and choreographer Glen Tetley was also the starting point of his now iconic choreographic style – combining modern dance with the elongated line and aerial bravura of ballet. It is a style he perfected through his professional career performing leading roles in the Martha Graham Dance Company as well as with American Ballet Theatre. Inspired by the three principal characters from the commedia dell’arte, it is a poetic, humorous and dramatic interpretation of composer Arnold Schoenberg’s revolutionary work of the same name. | ||

| Edinburgh Festival Theatre, Edinburgh EH8 9FT, United Kingdom Sunday 18-Aug-13 08:00pm The Rite of Spring (2011) Intense and visceral, Christopher Hampson’s vision of The Rite of Spring, created originally for Atlanta Ballet, is presented 100 years after the original production revolutionised the world of dance and music. Set to Stravinsky’s exhilaratingly influential score, Hampson uses three dancers – two men and a woman – to reinvent the now infamous story of remorseless human sacrifice with brutal physicality and primal energy in this challenging work that examines themes of violence, obedience and domination. | ||

| The Hub, Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH1 2NE, United Kingdom Sunday 18-Aug-13 10:00pm Pierre-Laurent Aimard and Marco Stroppa As a prelude to his Queen’s Hall recital on 23 August, renowned French pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard takes up residence in The Hub for two late-night concerts celebrating the intoxicating new sound worlds that cutting-edge technology has brought to piano music. Italian composer Marco Stroppa’s dramatic Traiettoria (‘Trajectory’) is like a piano concerto whose orchestra has been replaced by sophisticated electronics, and the piece surrounds its audience with scintillating sounds from all directions. Before it, Aimard performs a selection of Hungarian composer György Kurtág’s aphoristic Jatékók (‘Games’) for solo piano – short, witty pieces that celebrate the sheer pleasure of playing.

Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, interpreted by Keith Jarrett, provides the music for this reconstruction of Bohner's solo Im (Goldenen) Schnitt I, to which Gelabert brings his inimitable style and individuality as a dancer. | ||

Created especially for this world premiere, these audience interactions mean that each performance develops in an entirely different way in the laboratory venue and subsequently online, where it decays until finally it can no longer be heard. Quite the matter of life and data. Peter Gregson is equally at home collaborating with some of the most exciting musicians working today (including Gabriel Prokofiev, Daníel Bjarnason and Max Richter) as he is with world-leading technologists, ranging from the Media Lab at MIT, Microsoft Labs and his own Google-funded incubator, The Electric Creative Colab.

| The Hub, Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH1 2NE, United Kingdom Wednesday 21-Aug-13 10:00pm Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Marco Stroppa and Samuel Favre A vibrant depiction of the natural world and a pioneering work of electronics meet in pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard’s second late-night recital. Aimard has been widely praised for his visionary performances of Messiaen’s radiant piano music. Tonight he evokes the birds, animals, fl owers and landscape of the remarkable La Rousserolle Effarvatte (‘The Reed Warbler’), an avian portrait that charts a whole day in the French countryside through birdsong and the sounds of nature. In his Kontakte (‘Contacts’), Stockhausen harnessed early electronic technology in a thrilling exploration of rhythm, sound and space, pitting electronics against piano against percussion and sending music spinning through space. | ||
