A Due (2000)

Instrumentation: for oboe, clarinet, violin and double bass

Composition by Eric Gaudibert / Nicolas Bolens.
This work is written by two hands, by two different composers who experimented in equally sharing the single instruments: the oboe and double-bass on the one hand side and the violin and the clarinet on the other.
The precisely written violin is the conducting element and the three other instruments are grouped accurately around it. A description of the tempi allows easy playing. This piece has a medium level of difficulty.

rufen wir charon? - und wenn er nicht kommt? (1997-1998)

Instrumentation: for altus, bass clarinet, double-bass and piano

This piece, without text, was written for the altus Luiz Alves da Silva. It works primarily with oscillating, non transition forming elements such as register change, upbow - downbow, to and fro movements etc. Continually changing parameters such as dynamics and tempo transitions are to be avoided in so far as they are not induced by the instrument or the human being itself.

Instrumentation: for violoncello, double-bass, baritone saxophone, bass clarinet, two tenor-bass trombones and two percussion

An initial piece based on repetition in such a way that the repeated elements, located on many different levels, are not always immediately recognizable. This gives the impression of a loosely fabricated form. It is sonorously very soft, with lots of sounds and lots of interlocking rhythms. Requires a conductor.

Shao Yue (The Music of Shao) (2002)

Instrumentation: version for contrabass solo

The title originated from the the Chinese ancient music "Shao". In 517 B.C., Confucius arrived in the country of Qi. On hearing "Shao" in the royal palace, he praised it highly as being "the most beautiful, and also the most honest!" "Confucian Analects" include: "after hearing Shao, Confucius was so touched that he could not enjoy the taste of the meat for three months".
Utilises modern techniques which avoids the loss of the graceful characteristics of the guqin (Chinese ancient lute - about 3000 years old, with seven strings). The piece, originally composed for quqin, is now transposed to double bass. It simultaneously benefits from many of the quqin's special skills so its status is neither quqin nor double bass, neither Orient nor Occident, neither classic nor contemporary, neither traditional nor modern… between conscious and unconscious.

Deux ou trois pas dans le gris (1994)

Instrumentation: for double-bass and accordion

The first part of this work gives the double-bass a virtuoso role. The two instruments are now independent as far as their character and the tempo is concerned. In the second part the double-bass and accordion merge in a lyrical and poetic way. This work resulted in two solo versions: 'Deux ou trois pas...' for double-bass and 'Deux pas dans le gris' for accordion.

Schlaglichter (2006)

Instrumentation: for oboe, clarinet, bassoon, double bass and percussion

The three miniatures are the reshaping of the structure and instrumentation of three laconic parts of my opera "Die Axt" after "Graf Öderland" by Max Frisch, which I composed as a commission for the Komischen Oper Berlin.
Schlaglicht I is taken from the end of the 2nd act. In Schlaglicht II, the wind instrumentalists play excerpts from the three trumpets in the 1st act, while the percussion and double bass develop a new oppositional layer. Schlaglicht III transposes almost the entire 5th act where the bassoon and oboe intonate the duet between the central character and his partner, while the clarinet and double bass play the accompanying trumpet and tuba and the percussion brings in a new line.

accent - figure - layer (2008)
A project between improvisation and composition

Instrumentation: for bass clarinet/tenor saxophone, percussion, piano, violin, viola and double bass

The wide scope between improvisation and composition is calibrated. There are, however, no long notated passages but form sequences, short notated phrases as starting points, verbal instructions and graphics - right through to improvisation as one extreme. The musical material is based on the archetypal elements 'accent', 'figure' and 'layer' as mentioned in the title. The through-composed parts "unione e tremolo" for violin and viola (movement II) and the violin solo "NONONONO" (movement VII) are inserted between the six movements as the other extreme.

Die Schwestern (2011/2012)

Instrumentation: for soprano and double bass (or soprano and piano)

Texts: Christian Morgenstern

In a dialogue between a bell and a cannon, the cannon exhibits its sisterly nearness: "Today they are yours and pray, tomorrow they are mine and kill." The bell vehemently rejects this kinship with the cannon. But is the cannon really wrong? Are religion and War not often twinned? On the one hand, the musical setting accentuates the contrast between the soprano and double bass, even working within the two parties with extreme contrasts. On the other hand, the double bass occasionally ascends the lofty heights of the soprano and twins itself with the voice.
