Heyn’s music is the mise en scène of an acoustic condition, whose manifold reflections perpetually interlock and shatter, like a box of mirrors. It investigates a process, which in itself is inaccessible and cannot be reproduced on paper. Volker Heyn is not interested in sound per se – in the positive acoustic gesture – but, and especially, in the negative form, in the responding tone gesture, in the duplicating of friction and in discontinuous movements.
