PAGANIHILISMO, a piece for solo violin and 512 cloned violinists, was realized in 1997 at the ELAK WIEN institute for electroacoustic music.
Composition History
Dieter Kaufmann's oratorio, EVOCATION, was inspired by the May 1968 student protests in Paris, which he witnessed while studying composition there.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Kaufmann's EVOCATION aims to give voice to the individual, emphasizing that each person has their own voice in the score, and from this diversity, resistance and insight grow.
Compositional Technique
A key aspect of Kaufmann's compositional technique in EVOCATION is the concept of 'transition' — moving between sound and word, noise and tone, or narrow and wide intervals.
