‘Selten Gehörte Musik’ [rarely heard music] developed from our ‘dichterworkshop’ in which an intimate circle of friends met together at loose intervals to talk, eat, drink and collaborate on artistic projects. the aim of the workshops was to create a fruitful intensity over a period of several days (and nights) which, without being restricted to any one field of the arts, fostered creative production of a totally pleasure-oriented kind.
