First, silence. Then, as from afar, frantically, a violin descends, emerging from the shadows, ever more insistently. A piano answers, slows the pace. And thus begins a careful courtship of two opposing voices: teasing, complaining, questioning, refuting, embracing. And thus begins one of the most compelling recordings of modern music.
Later on, we hear a bell, the pulse, introducing the second movement – a requiem, a dream, a heart-stopping descent, unreeling slowly, ever so relentlessly, into a depth where there is nothing but mourning, brutal, encompassing, rapturous.

About the Magazine
mono.kultur is a new interview magazine from Berlin. Questions and answers. Conversations with the interesting few. In full length and depth, extensive and unfiltered. mono.kultur deals with art and culture – or rather with the people who make them happen. In the foreground are music, film, and literature. And image. And architecture. And media. But behind them is a creative mind.
mono.kultur features one interview per issue, no more, no less. Carefully selected and designed. No distractions, no gossip, no trendscouting. Instead, we offer opinions, experiences, and lives. mono.kultur appears quarterly. In English for Germany and the rest of the world. Available in selected bookshops across Europe and beyond.
