Karl Sczuka Grant Prize 2024 Antonia Alessia Virginia Beeskow: Ecce, sigh! Siren calls…still, I feel the same – An acousmatic cadaver

My approach to composition and music is rather associative. I let myself be influenced and guided by what affects me and what interests and touches me in the editing process. In this piece, the sound of affect „Ecce!“ is contrasted with the sound of relaxation or reflection and resignation „sigh!“.
