Zu klugen Gestirnen

Description: Recording of Riccardo Dapelo's Zu klugen Gestirnen. For soprano and tape. The work is derived from a picture poetry of Paul Klee.

This function shapes all the steps of the work in a motion from noise to sound. The attempt is to build a self-similar structure with matching between small details and larger forms.
