A portion of Peter Ablinger's massive cycle "Voices and Piano" (completion date yet to be determined), which constitutes post-spectral counterpoint and mimic of voice patterns of famous icons, performed on the piano, while the speech recordings are played back on tape. These are only selections; the entire cycle will likely comprise nearly six hours of material.

1- Bertold Brecht
2- Gertrude Stein
3- Lech Walesa
4- Morton Feldman
5- Hanna Schygulla
6- Mao Tze-Dong
7- Guillaume Apollinaire
8- Bonnie Barnett
9- Jean-Paul Sartre
10- Martin Heidegger
11- Marcel Duchamp
12- Heimito von Doderer
13- Orson Welles
14- Mother Theresa
15- Rolf Dieter Brinkmann
16- Hanns Eisler
17- Ezra Pound
18- Ilya Prigogine
19- Pier Paolo Pasolini

  • Heidegger is over rated. He would have learned a lot of Wittgenstein if he had not lost his time dealing with primitive ontological conceptualizations. Even behaviorists adopted Wittgenstein's view on linguistic systems and referentiality. Anyways, what is the concept behind this? Adding counterpoint to speeches. Adapting music to voices like voices are usually adapted to music? It does seem a symmetrical derivation. Its interesting, the range of speech types, variates the outputs a lot.

  • @Hero0fSilence

    Because the pre-conceptual process definitely matters more than the finished product, when it comes to aesthetic evaluation? Also, is it that adding counterpoint to speech (in this Ablinger piece) is so derived from adding speech to counterpoint (like a Bach Cantata [the causality is really that apparent?])? Oh, wait; you changed the wording when you realized how ridiculous your conclusion was, from "adding counterpoint" to the vague and unrelated "adapting music." I forgot.

  • Großartig ! Danke !

  • @John11inch Well, isnt adapting and adding music based on a preconceived sound quality the basis of spectral music? But I wouldnt know, I'm not familiar with spectral music, less with Ablinger. By the way, thanks for the upload.

  • awesome :D
