Clemens Gadenstätter: Semantical Investigations

Clemens Gadenstätter’s album Semantical Investigations is a collection of works for smaller and larger ensembles, all linked through his view on what composing means: “I believe that the fundamental core of my composing is defined by the view that listening is not only a biological and physiological fact, but also main­ly something we learn” (Gadenstätter). He puts familiar sounds into new contexts, and questions our aural experiences. While this may not be an album for the light-hearted, it is a rewarding intellectual journey towards a new way of experiencing music.
