Origins

Out of the ether, into existence

Origins-Bild, © Lara Müller / © Petra Haase je nach Altseitenfassung.

Baroque and contemporary works about natural cycles, light, time and life.

Out of the ether, into existence: the starting point, the beginning, the ever-recurring origin.

Origins focuses on natural cycles that have surrounded people since the dawn of time: seasons, elements, day and night, bodily rhythms, transience and rebirth.

The music contrasts and unites new arrangements of songs from the 16th and 17th centuries with contemporary pieces, some influenced by American minimal music.
