Radio Schallfeld

We met Italian-born composer Maurizio Azzan for an interview, on the occasion of the premiere of his new music theatre piece "Ariadne" in Graz. Azzan studied composition, literature and philology and has been working and living during the past years in Paris at the IRCAM, as well as doing a residency in Vienna. We talk about intertextuality and quotations, how sounds can open windows into parallel spaces and how to create pivotal moments in music that shift our attention and imagination.
