I was spending a year in Sydney when I recieved an offer by Mid-German Radio (MDR) to write a piece after Paul Klee for the 1999 MDR Summer. Being surrounded by such unique flora and fauna reminded me of the strong affinity to life on and in water expressed in the paintings of Paul Klee, his numerous harbour scenes, and above all his fish pictures. What would Paul Klee have painted on a visit to the 5th Continent? "Shark", "Turtle", "Ray" are three such imaginary images, Australian scenes after Paul Klee and inspired by Klee's own related motives. Each of the three movements begins with a core instrument and a specific musical material. The multiple oboe tones in "Shark", the guitar's natural flageolet tones in "Turtle" and the viola's tight chord glissandi in "Ray" initiates the character and development of each respective movement.

Texts: Andreas Neeser

Composed during the 'Last Minute. Eine Ausstellung zu Sterben und Tod' exhibition at the Stapferhause in Lenzburg, this piece touches on eight poems by Andreas Neeser (*1964), an author from Aarau. Published by pendo-Verlag, his 'Triebholz' collection of poems deals with the death of his brother. The texts reflect personal experiences with respect to coping with dying, death and transiency. Formally, this piece is based on the multi-part structure of the traditional Requiem text, which leads to a sort of mini-cycle consisting of short, merging single movements, where each section makes musical reference to the poems' structures, characteristics and emotional levels.

Duo für Schlagzeug und Gitarre (in Skordatur)

"ON bedeutet hier ein Vorwärtsgehen eines Pulses, ein 'go onʼ von wechselnden
Metren und Tempi. Das meist langsam pulsierende Werk wird durch das Schlagzeug polyrhythmisch verändert. Diese etwas rascheren oder langsameren Tempi sind variierend gegen das Grundtempo verschoben und irritieren die Wahrnehmung der etablierten Zeitebenen. Ein kleines Set von Schlaginstrumenten, eine kleine Trommel und ein grosses Becken ist klanglich äquivalent zur akustischen Gitarre.
Mit der gesetzten Skordatur von drei Saiten (E-20 Cent, D+40 Cent und H-60 Cent) erscheinen neue harmonische Konstellationen im Zusammenklang mit den temperiert gestimmten Saiten. Insbesondere ist für die akustische Gitarre eine reiche Palette von erweiterten Klängen zu hören. Unterstützt oder verändert werden diese Klänge durch die Anweisungen stufenweise sul ponticello oder sul tasto zu spielen. So entstehen, neben den Mikroharmonien, unterschiedlich abgestufte Obertonqualitäten.
Die Uraufführung fand am 6. April 2017 im Kunstraum Walcheturm in Zürich mit Christian Buck (Gitarre) und Christian Wolfarth Schlagzeug) statt."

After the picture bearing the same title by Paul Klee

Instrumentation: for oboe, bassoon, guitar and viola

In the painting "Wie Kraut und Rüben" by Paul Klee transparent white dots are spread over a red background in irregular rows and create thereby a subtle pulsation within a regular grid. By painting over the dots with the brush, these dots turn into lines, spots and signs. This technique, which Klee called "pointillate", has been transposed to dots of sound, arranged in rows, superimposed in irregular, free rhythms by the four instruments.

Both partners are handled equally. The electronics do not only remain passive but also take the initiative. Sometimes the guitar remains on a percussive sample and the electronics answer with increasingly hectic movements, at other times both partners move with varying pulse, as though on two levels, at other times still the guitar gives the impulse, occasionally there is an intensive improvised interaction with rapid and spontaneous role changes.

Four poems by Charles Baudelaire

Instrumentation: for soprano and guitar

Texts: Charles Baudelaire

Baudelaire's worldview is characterised by ambivalence: light is at the same time dark; flowers are 'the evil'. On the one hand is the search for beauty, on the other is the experience of spleen, the never-ending ennui. Transposed into music, the deep, bell-like tones of the guitar are broken by hard, dissonant accents - or dissonant chords slide into consonants and vice versa. The singing voice is characterised by a model that, following a rapid ascent, moves slowly downwards, often quasi-disintegrates or ossifies in ennui.
