After its reading of Julius Eastman's Feminine, released in 2021, the Ensemble 0 revisit the repertoires of Pauline Oliveros and György Ligeti from another angle. From the works of Oliveros, they exhumed a deeply meditative piece for accordion and voice, giving it a new life in the form of vaporous, cloud-riding chamber music. With Ligeti, the piano radicalism of the Musica Ricercata miniatures crops up again in a new and as yet unreleased orchestration György Ligeti (1923-2006) was a Hungarian-Austrian composer of contemporary classical music. He has been described as 'one of the most important avant-garde composers in the latter half of the twentieth century' and 'one of the most innovative and influential among progressive figures of his time'. Pauline Oliveros (1932-2016) was an American composer, accordionist and a central figure in the development of post-war experimental and electronic music.
