TemA was
written in the summer of
1968. In spite of
Ligeti's Aventures it may
be considered one of the
first compositions in
which the breathing plays
a role as an
accoustically transmitted
energy process (Holliger,
Globokar, Kagel, Schnebel
and Stockhausen in Hymnen
have already worked on
this phenomenon
independently of each
other and from different
points of view).
Moreover, temA marks for
me the first step into
that musique concrete
instrumentale in which
the mechanical conditions
of the sound production
are incorporated into the
composition. This
characterizes my later
pieces such as
Kontrakadenz, Air,
Pression etc. more
consistently. In temA,
unlike what happened in
my previous works, the
naturalistic extreme
cases were consciously
accepted but at the same
time integrated into a
very rigorous musical
context which was also to
give a new meaning to the
traditional playing
conceptions. The
violation of the tabus
felt in the nearly 70s
(not only regarding this
piece) lay to a less
degree in the phenomenon
of the sound deformation
(snoring, pressed
strings, soundless
blowing etc.), since such
an alienation was
perfectly tolerated as an
humoristic, dadaistic or
expressionistic element.
Rather the shock was
caused by the technical
logic of the movements
which rendered relative
the sheer surrealistic
effect and had to be
taken seriously instead
of in an humoristic
way.(Helmut Lachenmann,
