Composer’s Note (2017), only in German
Gedanken zu “Nobody”, Dezember 2017

Nobody erscheint in einer spielerischen, vertr\u00e4umten Leichtigkeit. Die umgebende Atmosph\u00e4re ist z\u00e4rtlich-optimistisch. Ein tragisch-existentieller Unterton wird jedoch sp\u00fcrbar, in welchem immer wieder die Ahnung des Absurden und Entsetzlichen des Lebens aufblitzt.
Nobody schwankt zwischen zwei Polen: einerseits der direkten, kindlichen Freude beim Entdecken und Gestalten, andererseits der distanzierten, melancholischen Stimmung beim Betrachten dieser Freude. Die Gegenwart scheint seltsam entr\u00fcckt. Das Spielerisch-Kindliche bekommt durch die Insistenz innerhalb einer konstruktiven, dem Spiel fremden Formbildung einen Hang zum Tragischen.
Textgrundlage sind Gedichte von Emily Dickinson, sowie stellenweise kurze Einblendungen anderer Sprachebenen in den poetischen Text, insbesondere Fragmente und Phrasen aus populistischer Rhetorik, sowie Vulg\u00e4r- und Gewaltsprache.

Gefahr der Sprache f\u00fcr die geistige Freiheit. \u2013 Jedes Wort ist ein Vorurtheil.
(Friedrich Nietzsche, Menschliches, Allzumenschliches II, 2. Der Wanderer und sein Schatten, 55)

Kunst bringt auch vieles H\u00e4ssliche, Harte, Fragw\u00fcrdigkeit des Lebens zur Erscheinung \u2212 scheint sie nicht damit vom Leben zu entleiden? \u2026 Die Tapferkeit und Freiheit des Gef\u00fchls vor einem m\u00e4chtigen Feinde, vor einem erhabenen Ungemach, vor einem Problem, das Grauen erweckt \u2013 dieser siegreiche Zustand ist es, den der tragische K\u00fcnstler ausw\u00e4hlt, den er verherrlicht.
(Friedrich Nietzsche, G\u00f6tzen D\u00e4mmerung, Streifz\u00fcge eines Unzeitgem\u00e4ssen, 24)

Emily Dickinson, Poems

I stole them from a Bee \u2212
Because \u2212 Thee \u2212
Sweet plea \u2212
He pardoned me!

\u2217\u2217\u2217

A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.

I say it just
Begins to live
That day.

\u2217\u2217\u2217

Good morning \u2212 Midnight \u2013
I’m coming Home \u2013
Day \u2212 got tired of Me \u2013
How could I \u2013 of Him?

Sunshine was a sweet place \u2212
I liked to stay \u2013
But Morn \u2013 didn’t want me \u2013 now \u2013
So \u2212 Goodnight \u2013 Day!

I can look \u2013 can’t I \u2013
When the East is Red?
The Hills \u2013 have a way \u2013 then \u2013
That puts the Heart \u2013 abroad \u2013

You \u2013 are not so fair \u2013 Midnight \u2013
I chose \u2013 Day \u2013
But \u2013 please take a little Girl \u2013
He turned away!

\u2217\u2217\u2217

I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you \u2013 Nobody \u2013 Too?
Then there’s a pair of us \u2013 don’t tell
They’d banish us \u2013 you know!

How dreary \u2013 to be \u2013 Somebody!
How public \u2013 like a frog \u2013
To tell your name \u2013 the livelong Day \u2013
To an admiring Bog!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
