Contemporary German novelist, writer and translator
Dietmar Dath
(b. 1970) reads
Im Erwachten Garten
(trans.
In The Awoken Garden
), a hitherto unpublished "alternate version" or "looking glass text" of his polyphonic novel
Die Abschaffung Der Arten
(
The Abolition Of The Species
), with musical interpretation by
Kammerflimmer Kollektief
. In this story, animals explain the meaning of love, war and history to human beings. The animated, unpredictable and ever-changing environment is ably supported by the Kammerflimmer Kollektief, who musically illustrate the map to a secret original text which lies beneath the published novel. Text becomes music, music becomes legible. These are two voices: that of the text and the voice of sound, which whispers, susurrates and coos, like a Pentecostal flame. This voice is essentially unknowable, yet it is intimately tied up within the substance of the text, like evening beauty wrapped up in reverb. A drum kit invokes the beating of a human heart, an echo resounds. Tonal matter seems to be organized in lines; the sounds map a layout of the ear so that the narrative assumes a lyrical texture.
