A 45-minute piece from 2024 composed by Ferdinand Schwarz in collaboration with AREPO ensemble.
“I had been working a lot with forms that touch upon senses of stasis. I was intrigued by non-developmental music, where to me sound is not used to narrate the story itself, but is the structure of the plot on which listeners build their own narratives. I loved the listening/playing experiences these forms offered. Fragile by nature, these structures need a lot of care and quick decision-making to be held afloat, with soft hands. And improvising this is quite challenging.”
