INTERZONE: GAME 11-4-9 for soprano, ensemble and electronics (2023)


Bernhard Lang's new work from his GAME series explores the possibility of playing and playing with musical structures. “Interzone”, a composition commissioned by the Platypus Ensemble and the Carinthian Summer, is based on a libretto from excerpts from William S. William S. Burroughs’ “Naked Lunch”, which was compiled by the American Burroughs specialist Alex Wermer-Colan. The approximately one-hour piece is organized in “rounds”. The players choose from mixed sets of cards and follow game rules that determine the structure and course of the game rounds. Accordingly, every new performance will be different and remain variable.
