Dariya Maminova “I don’t know whether the Earth is spinning or not...“ for singer and ensemble Words: Velimir Khlebnikov Dariya Maminova - Voice Ensemble Musikfabrik Conductor: Clement Power June 2019, HfMT Köln. Projekt “Adventure“ ------------ «But I do know that I want to seethe, I want the Sun and the sinew of my hand to tremble together.»: The Idea, that every being in the universe is connected with one another is close to my spirituality. The image of a poet who resonates with the universe really inspired me to compose my piece. I attempted to create an evolution of words and sounds in which parts of the universe interacted to each other. My piece starts from a point, the first word of the poem, «I» and then it grows in circles. The ensemble responses to every spoken word of the singer.
