Márcio Steuernagel: A Mis•encyclopaedia of Musical Imperfections

Márcio Steuernagel: A Mis•encyclopaedia of Musical Imperfections

This album presents a mis•encyclopaedia, a fascinating exploration of imperfection by composer Márcio Steuernagel. Inspired by literary figures such as Borges and Pessoa, the works embody a profound poetic fragility. The music challenges the relentless pursuit of perfection in Western traditions by embracing imperfection as a dynamic, expressive force. With sounds that emerge from experimental techniques – unpredictable by-products, fragmentary structures, and explorations of physical and sonic boundaries – Steuernagel reveals new artistic dimensions. Each piece, meticulously crafted yet open to interpretation, creates an evocative, fluid soundscape that acknowledges the fleeting, imperfect nature of existence.
