In this first episode of the second series of ICWID!, David Fennessy talks about his piece Hauptstimme which recently received its first performance at HCMF//. A sort-of viola concerto, the piece explores David's interest in the relationship between the voices of an ensemble, and between the individual and the crowd. He also discusses how a work conceived in the Pearl River Delta came to feature the clacking sound of a Scottish loom, and how he was inspired to create a trilogy of works based on the writings of film director Werner Herzog. This episode features performances given by the Red Note Ensemble, Talea Ensemble and Ensemble Klang.
