Commissioned in 2014 for Kakania, a project exploring the legacy of the Habsburg era through contemporary, original works of text and art. This piece relates to songs composed by Anton Webern, and in particular, song cycle, “Fünf Lieder” Op. 3, which was significant in the development of Webern’s early atonal style. It developed from manipulations and layering of short segments of vocal recordings, fractured phrases and isolated sections of vocal expressions, which where expanded and brought together, emerging as a rich and orchestral sounding tapestry - haunted memories of bygone days.
