blickwinkel 22  05.12.2025  Cassette

blickwinkel announces WILDERNESS, the fifth instalment in Ameel Brecht’s cassette series exploring the theme of sleep. This closing volume delves into the world of dreaming and what it does to our minds, and for the first time in Brecht’s oeuvre features newly composed parts for (bass) clarinet.

"Sleeping and dreaming in your childhood: the first dreams you remember, the whole wildness of it;
dreams of flying, and of disappearing, the strangeness of blue twilight, worrying about the nightmares of a sibling, listening to the dreams of your parents, struggling with falling asleep, writing dreams on postcards, dreams that feel so true they linger for days - sleep is wilderness."
