Gedankenfabrik, Bruno Ruviaro

Music

“Zwar ist’s mit der Gedankenfabrik Wie mit einem Weber-Meisterstück Wo ein tritt tausend Fäden regt Die Schifflein herüber hinüber schiessen Die Fäden ungesehen fliessen Ein Schlag tausend Verbindungen schlägt.” [excerpt of Urfaust, by Goethe] “A verdade é que a fábrica de pensamentos É tal qual o ofício do tecelão, Em que um passo move milhares de fios, As navetas cruzam de um lado a outro, Os fios deslizam sem serem vistos E mil nós se formam de uma só vez.” [excerto de Fausto Zero, de Goethe. Tradução de Christine Röhrig]

Tripoe:Try, Bruno Ruviaro Jan 2003

Tripoe:Try, Bruno Ruviaro

Music

The piece treats texts by Poe, cummings and Mallarmé as “musical fragments” — specifically, Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart serves, in a more modest setting, a similar function as that of Mahler in Berio’s Sinfonia: some sort of ongoing, complete background quotation of an entire work, onto which various other elements are grafted. (*) Clear quotations appear once more: Nono and Stockhausen being the most prominent, so to speak.
