About This Item
In Wolfgang Rihm's compositions, there is a continual energy inherent in the sound objects themselves that the composer senses and liberates. Rihm coined the term Inchvegetative composingInch for this particular relationship to the material; elsewhere he has spoken of reacting InchseismographicallyInch. By means of inscription, contrafacture and overpainting Rihm creates absolutely new works out of works composed earlier within a compositional row.InchFrageInch stands out for it's two essential design approaches from the visual arts - linearity and the planar, objectlike - and it's use of two painting techniques overpainting and inscription. More than that, however, the work is embedded into a network of references to the visual arts. Whereas in InchFrageInch elements of various ages were recombined into a montage, in InchSphäre um SphäreInch a model is completely reworked, namely, in the form of a contrafacture. Both works of this CD were premièred by ensemble recherche, and InchFrageInch is also dedicated to this ensemble specialized in New Music. - First recording! Coproduction with Westdeutscher Rundfunk.
