Product Details

Description

It is only during the past few years that a complete impression of Alan Turing as one of the tragic heroes of the 20th century has truly emerged: the mathematician who laid down the path for the development of computers and also broke the German codes during the Second World War, thereby contributing to its end, before being persecuted as a homosexual which led to his suicide. In our opera, Georg Holzer and I tell the story of the hard-won rise and unjust fall of a genius who never felt at home in the world he helped to save. In my music, I combine minimalist patterns with influences from electronic pop music, considering the question of how much machine is contained in life, and how much life in machines. Anno Schreier
