‘Trilogie für zwei Flügel’ (2014-2018) Brigitta
Muntendorf (1982) 45’

“I wish this sounded like it already doesn’t.”

This trilogy for two pianos and electronics by Brigitta
Muntendorf is a concert piece that deals with the
paradoxes of presence and absence through music.
It is composed of three movements: ‘Key of Presence’, ‘KreisIncrease’ and ‘Key of Absence’.
The German composer Brigitta Muntendorf is one of the greatest points of reference in multimedia composition today. Muntendorf uses references as an integrated principle in her works, creating numerous layers of meaning and analogue/digital expression in her music. These elements come together to produce the greatest example in the ‘Trilogie für zwei Flügel’, where two pianos and a complex live electronic device successively evoke
an ephemeral nature, permanent resonance, memory and logos.
