Imago Dei

2022

Vibraphone and Tape (10')

Imago Dei is a piece which ironically examines Man’s “likeness to God“. As a species we are creating machines, building quantum computers and inventing AI. At the same time we create injustices, oppress minorities and destroy nature from economic and egoistic motivations. Regardless, Christian history in particular calls us the „crown of creation“.

This piece is full of fast and crazy ideas, flashes of thoughts, like a computer creating false conjunctions. Short snippets of music of different styles appear and disappear. They collide with each other until the absurdness culminates in a total crash. The piece concludes in apparent peace but one is left wondering if this is just yet another false conjunction.

Premiered on November 11, 2023, at the Thalia Theater Hamburg.
