Zum Komponieren mit Sprache: Positionen von 1997 bis 2012

This collection of four essays written between 1997 and 2012 focusses on problems in the field of music and language. Two of the essays are co-authored by Lisa Spalt, who also wrote the lyrics for the musical works to which the essays refer. The collaboration between composer and author in these works is grounded on poetological questioning and artistic research. The four essays document an ongoing interest in the common field of musical and verbal articulation and signification, while the work-specific artistic approaches have continuously changed over time. These approaches are therefore best regarded as intermediate stages, as parts of a work in progress
