...oder kann das weg
(2024)
live electronics
60 min
The music for"...oder kann das weg?" accompanies the performative examination of the boundary between art and propaganda. It creates sonic contrasts between aesthetic expression and manipulative effect and reflects the ambivalence between artistic freedom and political influence. The use of complex sound structures creates a musical dialogue with the performers' experiences and the questions of the piece: When does art become an instrument? When is it just a backdrop? And what remains in the end - art or junk?
