The composition “Körper” is closely related to Fremdkörper (2008), a composition in which I amplified four instruments through guitar-amplifiers, in combination with live-electronics. What both pieces have in common is a research about unity and multiplicity within –literally- an “ensemble”. The German word “Körper” is both singular and plural and refers at the same time to one body and a to a collection of bodies. The tension between these is for me one of the most important characteristics of an orchestra (and metaphorically speaking of society). The orchestra can breath, sigh, shout, whisper, ... as one gigantic metabolism, or can function as a group of completely autonomous bodies. What’s the body of the orchestra? Is it the musician? Or is it his/her instrument? And what’s an instrument? Is it just an object, “ein Körper”? Is a body nothing more than an object – as might be concluded from the 21st-century militairy vocabulary (“collateral damage”)?
