Repetition does not change anything in the repeated object, but it does change something in the mind that looks at it. (David Hume, quoted by Gilles Deleuze)

Austrian composer Bernhard Lang (external link)’s ongoing series Differenz/Wiederholung (Difference/Repetition) explores the potential of repetition in music in its many varied forms. Lang’s work ranges from the strictly notated to graphical, from fully specified to semi-improvised, and from highly abstract material to quotes from other composers and samples from the soundtracks of Boris Karloff films.

The concert will include the launch of a new book on Lang by musicologist Christine Dysers and an interview with the composer.
