Scelsi Revisited

In the project Scelsi Revisited Scelsi’s legendary tape material is for the first time reflected in the medium of art: seven compos­ers (Ragnhild Berståd, Georg Friedrich Haas, Fabien Lévy, Tristan Murail, Michael Pelzel, Michel Roth, Nicola Sani) were commissioned by Klang­forum Wien to create new works from Scelsi’s tape music. The results on this album are quite heterogeneous: they range from the meticulous analy­sis of the source material and its trans­fer into the emerging composition to free artistic commentaries. Scelsi Revisited is a conceptual exten­sion of the historical collective working method, thereby accentuating the plu­ral: Scelsi, c’est nous!
