Todtnauberg - a 'Pataphysical Approach
30/07/2007 By
Sein und Zeit (Being and Time) may be one of the most important works of western philosophy in the 20th century, and earned its author, controversial philosopher Martin Heidegger, fame amongst phenomenologists - the book itself was heavily influenced and even dedicated to Edmund Husserl -, existentialists (see: Sean Paul Sartre "Being and Nothing) and even structuralists like Jacques Derrida.
Tomoroh Hidari's "Todtnauberg", named after the small village in Germany where Sein und Zeit was written in 1927, does not attempt to set Martin Heidegger's complex philosophical ponderings to music, but rather takes a 'pataphysical approach: Instead of trying to understand Time and Being as transcendental universalia, they are musically created and treated as special cases, one-off instances of a kind. Musically and personally reflecting life as the ever changing excretive winds of King Ubu, where patterns and structures are arbitrary means to an end, seemingly repetitive circles within a theatre of the absurdish scheme serving to create odds to an end.
