"Chinese-Australian composer Liza Lim was inspired by the lyric poetry of the Sufi poet Hafiz for her work Tongue of the Invisible. Lim explains, 'the way in which he mixes and shifts levels of meaning gives rise to complex and indeterminable frames of mind in oneself.' This variety of meaning is first and foremost reflected in the juxtaposition and coexistence of precisely and meticulously composed textures and improvised elements. But the compilation of the text set to music also facilitates numerous variants and interpretations. These dialogues are superbly 'narrated' here by the pianist Uri Caine, singer Omar Ebrahim, and the soloists of the ensemble musikFabrik."

Performed by: Ensemble für Neue Musik Zürich. "Liza Lim belongs to a new class of composers whose artistic approach is destined to undermine centuries-old Eurocentrism once and for all: though adapting 'Western' techniques to a degree, they seek spiritual orientation in other cultures. It is an organic paradigm shift with totally new artistic results. Liza Lim, too, is well-acquainted with the key European traditions and techniques. She studied with Ton de Leeuw in Amsterdam, is familiar with the scores of a Brian Ferneyhough and attended Summer Courses in Darmstadt, even going on to teach there. But her sources of inspiration and the roots of her musical language are largely Asian. This already becomes clear from the sonorities of her works." -- Max Nyffeler.
