For more than a century there has been a tradition in literature of studying language in its phonological and prosodic qualities. This position has also found expression in music - for example, in Gy?rgy Ligeti or in jazz. Gabriele Hasler has been one of the most distinguished interpreters of this direction for many years. Meanwhile she moves in a creative field that calls up memories of Dada or the vocal artistry of Meredith Monk. Detached from the syntactic context, in mere sequence, even "normal" words take on the character of phonetic poetry, nonsense words, on the other hand, seem understandable".
