Verschränkung – ins Offene - Gerald Eckert International Festival of Contemporary Music Warsaw Autumn

go to content

Sound complexes, as compositional building blocks subjected to  different transformation processes and partially functioning as  a structural level in another work, are used as starting elements  in Verschränkung – ins Offene. This time initially in the opposite  way by removing and changing individual basal layer levels into  unfinished (initial) core elements, they are again subjected to  various transformation and modulation processes and thus ultimately overwritten. This means that the elements follow a new  orientation, palimpsest-like sound traces are created, which, in  relation to their original properties, become elements removed  from their origin, distantly formed remnants of their own past. In the end, these acquired rudiments are superimposed in their  own time levels and different densities, modulate each other and  thus move completely beyond the initial horizon. 

The flute uses material from the piece ferne Tiefe for contrabass  flute, orchestra and live electronics. However, this material has  been modified once again, and its nature and structure have been  altered to create a true counterpart to the electronics.
