Mirela Ivicevic: Scarlet Songs on CD

Klangforum Wien & The Black Page Orchestra - Mirela Ivicevic: Scarlet Songs - Unrestricted, energetic, explosive - Mirela Ivičević is one of the most enthralling composers of her generation. Her works are performed at international festivals and interpreted by well-respected ensembles such as Klangforum Wien and Ensemble Nikel. Many of her works revolve around self-empowerment she herself has experienced. They tell of relationships, of sexuality and pregnancy, but also of powerlessness, of war and destruction. They demand independence and freedom, a space free of ideologies and power dynamics. This occurs not only on a conceptual but also on an acoustic level. Dominant orders, hegemonic relationships, are suspect to Ivičević, no matter in which context. Tense and anarchic, Ivičević's compositions resemble rebellious acts.
