Freibrief für einen Traum

Freibrief für einen Traum is the result of a longer collaboration with four French musicians (Donatienne Michel-Dansac - soprano, Catherine Bowie - flute, Antoine Ladrette - cello, Jean Geoffroy - percussion). First I composed 25 short melodies (gestures) and fife longer sequences which were recorded. In addition the soprano sung four voices of a counterpoint on the text 'Es wird später'. This recording material was then treated in the IRCAM studios to compose a 8-channel-tape. There are four speakers around the public and four on stage beside each musician. The compositional structure is entirely based upon the number 5. There are 5 parts, each subdivided in again 5 subparts. The harmonic material is based on 5 chords with 5 notes from which the 25 gestures also were derived.
