About Ant00n-2.0
‘Bruckner is half genius, half simpleton!’—words spoken by conductor Hans von Bülow, Bruckner’s contemporary. Indeed, Bruckner is a man of paradoxes: one can find many contradictions between his dull personal life and his posthumous legend; between his pompous orchestration and possibly an imposter syndrome; between his devoted Catholic faith and a romantic life resembling a tragicomic parody of Nabokov’s Lolita.
Even today, Bruckner’s memory can be seen in at least two perspectives: radical cancel culture and the fantasy-driven Concertgebouw-ish audience. Which is better—a socio-cultural inquisition or the 'pure' music propaganda? The friction between the two perspectives is so intense that one might begin to think: maybe it’s actually the perfect time to let those classical geniuses rest in peace?..
The piece was commissioned by the Bruckner Casco Festival in 2024.

About Sheltered
Sheltered is a playful exploration of the feeling of Geborgenheit (Eng. feeling sheltered, safe). The musical material of this piece is inspired by sounds that Lisa associates with the feeling of Geborgenheit. By seamlessly weaving melodic and textural sound worlds together, an intimate, unique musical space emerges that invites the audience to feel sheltered, too.
