Introduction

The piece is a work that was created parallel to a response project at two Frankfurt schools together with Matthias Lorenz, in which we worked on the piece “temA” by Helmut Lachenmann. It is a possible execution of our final assignment for the two classes.
The five voices are coordinated exactly in time, but each voice has the possibility to start with his voice at five different points. Because these points of application are distributed asymmetrically over the voice, there are no identical or similar versions. For me, the question was to reconstruct the principle of the unpredictability of the suksession of Lachenmann's piece as a formal principle, and thus to deconstruct the principle of development. That's why the “canon”, quasi in another language, begins a second time at the end.
The voices themselves are built from similar components, but they are very specifically tailored to the possibilities of the individual instruments. These components are created in a kind of tunnel view through Lachenmann's temA, in which what is successively arranged there in time appears here simultaneously.
