Brigitta Muntendorf's Key of presence, for two pianos, tape, and live electronics, was developed at the SWR Experimental Studio and had its premiere earlier this year at the ECLAT Festival in Stuttgart. The GrauSchumacher piano duo performs; the text comes from Javier Salinas's poem "Something is coming, my friend." Muntendorf aims here to explore the interaction between "analog" and "digital" worlds — between transient phenomena, such as a sound resonating and disappearing in space, and the infinite data banks in which we attempt to "freeze the present," as she writes in her notes.
