Peter Ablinger:
DAS RAUSCHEN DER SPRACHE
THE RUSTLE OF LANGUAGE
LE BRUISSEMENT DE LA LANGUE
3 Sprecher 1997/2022
- 3 speaker / 3 voix parlées 8:46/8:14/7:52
notebook entry 1997
The piece should be for 3 similar voices (similar register, similar resonance); text: Roland Barthes: "Das Rauschen der Sprache"; all 3 speakers speak the same text in a sort of proportion canon, where only the central sentence is spoken together and therefore clearly understandable. Performers are synchonized via a click.
The piece exists in german and english translation, or the French original.
