Lecture Luxa M. Schüttler (DE)

In the past sixty years, the technical possibilities of studio production have not only provoked an altered hearing of music, but have also produced gigantic reference systems of «sonic» signs. The sonic multiplicity that has arisen, especially in the countless (sub-)genres of popular music, plays an increasingly important role in my compositions. Less in the form of single references or as redundant copies of pop music models, but in an accumulation of as many sonically diverse particles as possible. I call this compositional technique «Heterosonie.»

My main interest lies in obscuring unambiguity by overloading it with a multitude of different sonic states. The resulting sonic and structural fragmentation of my music aims to create a sensual experience of diversity. Not as an existential articulation of an individual, but rather as a shared existence in unadulterated multiplicity.
