In Krakow, reunion with our dear Mike Patton.
Face to face, two works which are part of the same historical sequence:
One is politically engaged, joyfully negligent, and energetically mixes serial writing, electronics, jazz:
it is a “machine for making sense” — Luciano Berio, Laborintus II, 1965.
The other has a spiritual orientation, and requires a certain form of asceticism from the musicians, which has them communicating via the musical interpretation of short poems:
it’s an “experience that goes beyond sense” — Karlheinz Stockhausen, For Times To Come, 1969.
Two faces of musical utopias, taken to their very highest level in the second half of the 1960s.
