Work introduction
For many people, the poetry of Paul Celan seems abstract, inadequate and very individual at first glance. However, the free metre and the many neologisms of this poetry is a source of inspiration for me to create new music. I have the impression of listening to Celan's music and making it tangible through words when I compose. These texts become immediately clear and concrete when they are understood metaphysically and symbolically. It therefore makes sense for me to lend depth of focus and expression to this mystical dimension through sound.
