Angefügt, nahtlos, ans Heute

Gerhard Stäbler is one of the most challenging yet indispensable voices in contemporary music. This book brings together essays, reflections, conversations, and tributes about and by a composer who navigates the realms of political engagement, musical radicalism, and poetic precision. Whether the focus is on his opera *Sünde. Fall. Beil, his electroacoustic works, silence, sound, travel, or the role of art in society—the contributions paint a multifaceted portrait of an artist who eludes all attempts at co-optation and continually formulates new forms of musical resistance. In addition to Stäbler’s own texts, the book features contributions from colleagues such as Dieter Schnebel, Elena Ungeheuer, Steven Holt, Christian Wolff, Max Nyffeler, and many others.
