Bernhard Lang: Critical Guides to Contemporary Composers offers a
critical guide and introduction to the work of Austrian composer
Bernhard Lang (b. 1957). It identifies the phenomenon of repetition
as a central concern in Lang's thinking and making. The composer's
artistic practice is identified as one of 'loop aesthetics': a
creative poetics in which repetition serves not only as
methodology, but also as material, language, and subject matter.
The book is structured around the four central thematic nodes of
philosophy, music, theatre, and politics. After introducing Lang as
a composer whose work is thoroughly influenced by philosophical
thought, the book develops a typology of musical repetition as it
is explored and activated in Lang's oeuvre. Pointing towards the
several repetitions within the performance of Lang's works, the
book explores the heavily trans-medial nature of the repeat across
domains such as literature, dance, and theatre. Finally, the book
investigates Lang's use of textual quotation and musical borrowing.
Christine Dysers is a musicologist specialising in contemporary
music aesthetics. Her research centres around repetition, politics,
absence, the liminal, and the uncanny. This is the first
full-length study of the works of Bernhard Lang and is a new volume
in the Critical Guides to Contemporary Composers series from
Intellect.
