Commissioned by the Department of New Music of the WDR.

«The tape of « Open door on City» is partly made by hazardous radio excerpts: excerpts of the world, bits of sentences or musics, emotion or set language, irrational, seized moments, imbricated in the present… it is an appearance.

Somebody walks in this scattering and symbolizes the presence of the observer. Lastly, the musical “abstract” sounds mix with realistic material and create distances or depths of field. Thus the musicians play a real counterpoint, approaching or integrating themselfs into the sounds from the tape, dialoguing with them or, contrariwise, living their independent life, ignorating the tape or even, contradicting it.»

Score available : Brunhild Ferrari
