HOW DO YOU WORK? Conversations, drawings and responses (Vienna) by Adelheid Mers

Preliminarily in 2012, and formally in 2013/14 , I asked experimental musicians and composers in Vienna "How do you work?". Based on those conversations, I created two drawings of what I call each artist's "epistemic engine", or the way I understood them to work. One drawing was a free form exploration, and the other mapped my notes onto the "Fractal 3-line Matrix", a diagrammatic instrument that emerged in my work in 2011, after the informal round of conversations. On sharing the drawings with them, artists were invited to produce a response in a medium of their choice. This project was supported by the University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna.

Renald Deppe

The saxophonist, clarinettist, composer and illustrator Renald Deppe was born in Bochum in 1955 and teaches at the University for Music and Performing Arts, Vienna, and the Anton Bruckner University, Linz. He is the founder and the artistic director of several festivals and cultural initiatives. Parallel to his work as organiser, curator and concept designer of non-mainstream music projects, Deppe has made himself a name as a composer of several commissioned pieces. His compositional work focuses on chamber music, music theatre, interdisciplinary project design, installations and sound graphics. As a musician Deppe has performed at several international festivals (Saalfelden, Berlin, Moscow, Krakow, Budapest, Rome, St. Petersburg, etc.) and his graphic sheet music has been displayed repeatedly in galleries.
