Bestiario (“Bestiary”) is a collection of pieces in which the performers are asked to embody an imaginary animal through sound. In a way, this animal participates in the composition process as it gradually reveals itself in its sonic qualities which help dictate the work’s discourse (form, techniques, contrasts, gestures, etc.) This means that this imaginary animal has agency in the work, which leads me to make decisions that I would not have otherwise made. This Bestiary is one of my attempts to remove the human—as a concept—from the center of attention, to challenge my concept of “personhood” imbued in Western thought, and to ‘de-humanize’ my ear in order to be able to better listen to those types of others who rarely are considered as (equal) subjects. This is the fifth piece within this series, composed for and dedicated to violist Annegret Meyer-Lindenberg.
