Instrumentation: for speaker and string quartet

Texts: Saul Williams

Following our first collaboration on a work for symphony orchestra (hip-hop-choir and speaker with a text from the book "said the shotgun to the head"), Saul Williams asked me whether I would like to set a further text to music, namely NGH WHT from his newest book "the dead emcee scrolls". Saul subsequently gave me a recording containing a recital of 33 chapters in his own rhythmically complex style.
My immediate idea was to contrast this fiery poem with a string quartet, not only because of the close relationship between the human voice and the string instruments, but also because this concentrated formation seemed suitable to convey the wide expanse between intimate lyrics and explosive drama.
Saul's poems – in his own words – should not actually be read but heard. It is thus, with his performances in Poetry Slams, that he is able to resurrect the age-old mores of oral tradition within which the musical element played an important role – be it as a rhythmical support to the rhyme or as the sung transformation and clarification of the contents.
The string quartet follows the breathless recitation like a synchronised path in such an information dense manner and tempo that it would be very difficult to follow along with the actual written text. Add to this Saul's often coded, symbol loaded and association-rich content that only the initiated can understand, and the quartet gains an important role as musical disseminator and decoder for another level of understanding.
I took his unaltered voice and transformed its rhythmical structures, melodies and timbres, partly freely, partly directly, into an instrumental language. The quartet often articulates single key words, syllables, formants and breathing noises simultaneously and merges in several places almost completely with the spoken word. In other places, the derived spoken material takes it's own path in a flowing process between convergence and distance, synchronicity and time shift, conformation and resistance.
