Episode 63: The Flypaper

The Flypaper* (2005/2012) Steven Kazuo Takasugi (US), composer Recorded November 17, 2023 in Toronto Leslie Newman, flute Sara Constant, flute Canadian Premiere Programme Note: Steven Kazuo Takasugi's Das Fliegenpapier / The Flypaper is a meditation on the short prose piece with the same name (Das Fliegenpapier) by the Austrian writer Robert Musil. The text, both in English and the original German, are recordings of the recitations by the composer/poet Wieland Hoban, the two languages fragmented and inter-braided. Other sound samples are employed including the recording of a fly realized in the composer's studio. The piece understands that the objective gaze of the scientist, almost sadistic in his observation of a fly dying on poisoned glue, can easily be turned toward himself as he observes his own extermination with the same scientific objectivity and focused attention to factual occurrence and details. www.continuummusic.ca ©2025 Continuum Contemporary Music (Toronto)
