This book documents the same-titled dialogue series at University for Applied Arts Vienna. Many artists have a passion for music. An extensive knowledge on musical issues and motifs testifies this obsession and unusual recording collections nourish their unexpected and often secret preference. Musical taste is often opposite to the artist s work and image. Young avant-garde artists love chamber music whilst well-established ones are fascinated by sub-culture music or the latest electronic evolutions. The matter of the dialogues is their emotional, not intellectual, relationship to music; the "fan", not the analyst, is in the centre. The dialogue partners - Urs Fischer, Markus Muntean, Daniel Richter, Christian Ludwig Attersee, Carl Michael Hausswolff, Helmut Federle, Cameron Jamie, Greg Lynn, Wolf Prix, Matthew Higgs - are among the most influential proponents of contemporary arts and architecture. This book shows us a hitherto unknown side of these artists.
