about

Masculine, feminine, loud, quiet, major, minor, German composer
Ludwig van Beethoven (himself, a historically constructed hyper- masculine persona) was renowned for his use of dynamic binary contrasts to reinforce imaginings of strength, power and superiority. For this, his work received renewed critique from feminist musicologists in the 1980s who drew attention to how patriarchal values and assertions of dominance could be embedded within compositional structures.

Sampling herself playing Beethoven’s Sonata in E Minor
on piano, Hurrian Cult Legacy focuses on the joining sections, the parts that are usually only framed as having a supporting role, and gives a new prominence to the‘in-between’.
