“Depths are not the transcendental, but rather the transcendental is the surface of the world, while both are physical.” – Iain Hamilton Grant, Philosophies Of Nature After Schelling, 2006

Audio document of the actualisation by Jeannette Muñoz and Manfred Werder at Pfingstweidstrasse in Zürich, 4 October, 2011.

Composer, performer, curator, lives in situ. Manfred Werder focuses on possibilities of rendering the practices regarding composition and field. His recent scores have featured either found sentences from poetry and philosophy, or found words from whatever impacts. His performances, both indoors and outdoors, aim at letting appear the world’s natural abundance. Earlier works include stück 1998, a 4000 page score whose nonrecurring and intermittent performative realisation has been ongoing since December 1997.
