ECSTATIC SCOTOMIZATION 

for soprano and viola

[2024] // duration: ~ 11′

Text by: Vera Linder

“Ecstatic Scotomization” is inspired by the homonymous text, composed for the occasion by the writer Vera Linder. The concept of scotomization, that is, the unconscious removal of lived experiences, is translated within the piece into a sonic flow in which different elements constantly negate each other, giving way to their opposite. Initially dominant sonic materials degrade into evanescent elements, while vocal fragments slowly emerge until revealing the original text.
