About
...das composer lied... is an aesthetic interrogation of chamber vocal music praxis and a gestalt of intertextuality and hyper-tonality which expresses the contradiction situated between syntactical morphology and the juxtaposition of commedia dell’arte and Gesamtkunstwerk. It’s also a silly song.
