Angefügt, nahtlos, ans Heute

Gerhard Stäbler is one of the uncomfortable but indispensable voices of contemporary music. This book brings together essays, reflections, conversations and tributes about and by a composer who moves between political commitment, musical radicalism and poetic precision. Whether it is about his opera Sünde. Fall. Beil, electro-acoustic works, silence, sound, travel or the role of art in society - the contributions paint a multi-layered portrait of an artist who defies all forms of appropriation and constantly formulates new musical resistance. In addition to Stäbler's own texts, companions such as Dieter Schnebel, Elena Ungeheuer, Steven Holt, Christian Wolff, Max Nyffeler and many others have their say.
