Natalie Dietterich: ‘Composition for Separated Musicians’ for Felix Kindermann’s ‘Choir Piece’

In staging a choir as a moving sculpture, artist Felix Kindermann’s ‘Choir Piece’ questions the disrupted zeitgeist of our society in the tension between individuality and collectivity. Through rearrangement, fragmentation, and techniques of acoustic distortion, the work creates a sense of alienation. ‘Choir Piece’ destabilizes the cohesive appearance and effect of the choir as a familiar cultural asset of collectivity, blurring boundaries that are dissolved by playing with harmony and disharmony.

Princeton graduate student composer Natalie Dietterich’s score ‘Composition for Separated Musicians,’ commissioned specifically for this work, applies Kindermann’s expansive intervention of separation to the coherent structure of the ensemble so that its harmony is preserved. Using Kindermann’s text, Dietterich’s composition allows for a permanent spatial modulation of the separated singers, who remain connected by acoustic set pieces. While the sound of the voices fills the volume of the exhibition space, the themes of separation and connection are translated into choreographic movements that extend throughout the entire architecture.
