Marco Stroppa: Space

Marco Stroppa views composition as musical research and is constantly aware of the dual nature of artistic thought, 'the discourse about the thought and the thought itself'. On this CD, the Ensemble KNM Berlin explores the topological qualities of the sound worlds in three of Stroppa’s chamber works. All three pieces demonstrate Marco Stroppa’s highly sensitive experimentation with sounds at the threshold of audibility. As a philosopher of sound, all sonorities are for him instruments of epistemology; as a musical poet, he tells stories with sensual, tactile, dynamic, and constantly changing sounds, the interpretation of which is always left up to the individual listener.
