Eric Lamb, Stefanie Alexandra Prenn, Angela Calvo Rios, Kaoko Amano, Veronica Klavzar - Marcio Steuernagel: A Mis-encyclopaedia of Musical Imperfections

This album presents a mis*encyclopaedia, a fascinating exploration of imperfection by composer Marcio Steuernagel. Inspired by literary figures such as Borges and Pessoa, the works embody a profound poetic fragility. The music challenges the relentless pursuit of perfection in Western traditions by embracing imperfection as a dynamic, expressive force. With sounds that emerge from experimental techniques - unpredictable by-products, fragmentary structures, and explorations of physical and sonic boundaries - Steuernagel reveals new artistic dimensions. Each piece, meticulously crafted yet open to interpretation, creates an evocative, fluid soundscape that acknowledges the fleeting, imperfect nature of existence.
