A commentary by singer Franz Vitzthum on our collaboration on the „MELANCHOLIA“ project:

The grant from musikfonds.de ensured that the sound artist Alois Späth and I were able to work together musically again after many years.

First we researched the topic of „MELANCHOLIA“ and then embarked on an intensive sound discovery process.

The result – a first extract, a small teaser – can be heard above.

Behind every single sound, including that of the voice, there are many, very many, I would even say extremely many hours in which we had great fun working on sound, timing and drive.

Our aim was to create intermediary performances together. These should include music by Dowland and other composers from all epochs and our own collaborative sound creations on the theme of “melancholy” and, if possible, be surrounded by other (sculptural or multimedia) installation setups.

At a concert in Heidelberg in summer 2021, we were able to present an entire program with our sound-installative creations on the theme of „MELANCHOLIA“ for the first time.
