Introduction: ...originated in 1988 for the jubilee of the 99th birthday of Charles Chaplin (1889-1977). The musical stylistics are inspired by Chaplins cinematography: Behind banal sets from the garbage waste dumps of the history of music and behind an unwieldy virtuoso comic shine - sometimes shyly and mostly only very briefly - trains of a lyrical art. Fresco custody are always on the style means of the repetition to being based sound tapes which give a typical motion sequence and at the same time a fresco-like statics to every sentence.
