AUSSEN II (von Außen) (live, 18.12.2015) by Hannes Dufek published on 2016-06-12T15:09:29Z The second piece in the "AUSSEN" (outside) series and was commissioned by Noise-Bridge (http://christiefinn.com/noise-bridge). Soprano and clarinet are its base setup, but there are various technical (metronomes, computers, radios, different audio playing devices) and natural objects (branches, water, sand)used. The score consists of eleven fragments which can be played optionally, repeated, performed in a row, etc. In this specific rendering, the duo chose to perform everything from 1 to 11. The spoken (and sometimes: the sung) text is an overlay from text written by me, by the singer and, to a lesser degree, by the clarinetist (which results in a different outcome for each performance). In this happy coincidence here, Christie Finn turned out to be a poet herself! Enjoy! Genre Contemporary Comment by Hannes Dufek @user-733465121: Hey Gene, thank you very much for listening and for your comments! So far, the piece has been performed five times and the people who played it told me they'd enjoyed it in fact. Initially, all the setup and objets required, the changes and the different "playing attitudes", so to speak, are a bit overwhelming, it seems, but it turns out to be fun and quite naturally flowing in the end. Cheers! 2019-08-30T20:52:21Z
