Using classical instruments and all kinds of electronic gadgets, Lang has long experimented with repetitive patterns, most prominently in his Monadology series of meta-compositions which recycle and remix original scores from music history. As part of MaerzMusik, Lang will perform his 32nd Monadology, The Cold Trip, a rendition of Franz Schubert's song cycle Winterreise (Winter Journey). Prior to his concert on March 13, we spoke to the composer about his fascination with loops.
