for Pakkóan with electronics (2020/ 21), 6 min.
commissioned by Hannoverschen Gesellschaft für neue Musik as part of TRAIECT III: TAIWAN project
Water tells us something about the quality of fl owing, of formless and manifold transforming and (re)absorbing. It is in motion, it does not delimit itself from itself, it makes life possible. In my composition I am concerned with the fluidity of Pakkoán music. Several fragments of music, which on the one hand can be heard as musique concrète from the loudspeakers, and on the other hand can be experienced on stage by musicians, grow freely into each other and form a depth with its own differences, which unfold historically, performancewise, socially, culturally, religiously and stylistically. Freed from their original contexts, the fragments form a constellation in which Pakkoán can encounter both himself and the Other.
