2020 was a dramatic year... Fears, worries, hardships everywhere, even panic, utter helplessness, but also disgraceful ignorance and arrogance... This CD collects a many-voiced selection of aesthetic statements as hindsights, as previsions, dystopian / utopian / resigning / courageous / protesting / alarming / optimistic / comforting... that react to incidents, experiences, and the severe events in the calendar year 2020: Beethoven 250, the continuous destruction of environment and democratic values, the pandemic. With contributions from: Marc Behrens, Gerald Fiebig, KedArY, Jörg Lindenmaier, Nicola L. Hein / Joshua Weitzel, Clemens von Reusner, Maximilian Marcoll, Wolfgang Motz, Monika Golla, Peter Kiefer, Klarenz Barlow, Julia Mihály, Ralf Hoyer, Ludger Kisters, and Johannes S. Sistermanns. Dedicated to the memory of Georg Katzer, pioneer of electroacoustic music in the German Democratic Republic and long-time honorary member of DEGEM, who died on 7 May 2019 at the age of 84. In his radio pieces Mon 1789 (1989) and Mein 1989 (1990), the illumination and scrutiny of two important revolutionary years in contemporary history is both impressive and riveting. Digipak with booklet.
