Instrumentation: for sextet (fl, cl, vn, vc, mar, pf)

"My form is created entirely out of straight lines and flat surfaces ordered at symmetrical right-angles. Every side, every line is the same as every other. Intersection facing intersection. This is me at peace with myself. I can begin rotating at the slightest movement, yet it is not always possible to forsee my path of motion, for the possibility of changing direction at any moment I leave open. My way is found along my edges or my corners. If I am not resting on a surface then I am moving in this linear fashion."
A square's eye view - its inherent form is the lead for musical transformation.
The ensemble follows characteristic figurations as a compact motional unit. The way leads from a description of the object through to the mechanisms of its motion and on to playfully gestural formulations.
Circular motions, rotation around a fixed axis, gradual advancement over sound layers, using pulses to create structure, fragmentary phases and moments of dancy movement are but a few aspects which infuse throughout this piece.

This piece is inspired by a Chinese drama of the 12th century. A woman is unjustly exectued, nature testifies her innocence: her blood doesn't drop to the ground but flies away on a white blanket; a heavy snow falls in the middle of summer and the winds begin to howl.
The rhythm is influenced by the poetic form of the Song dynasty (960-1279). The organisation of the musical material is inspired by certain codes which allow one to understand the taoistic texts.

At the outset of my studies in composition and influenced by the music of Morton Feldman I wrote a number of pieces for several of the same instrument, e.g. for 4 clarinets, for 6 sopranos and 6 percussionists or for 5 trumpets etc.
This series was concluded by the composition "Capriccio" in the no-longer so exquisite violin duo formation.
While the tonal unity of a "super instrument" was at the forefront of my thoughts for the older pieces, "Capricco" is defined more by the element of dialogue, which can lead to musical competitiveness between the two musicians.
This piece often plays in the "lofty heights" of the instrument.
It gains more and more "traction" via "furious" double stops.

Instrumentation: for string quartet and horn quartet

Four horns stand face on with a string quartet. These two close and self-contained sounding groups are led into a kind of duet. It begins with the construction of two sounds before developing into a back and forth oscillation between the two sounding groups. There follows a mutual attempt at tonal alignment and then fine variations where the groups enter an area of wavering tones. Re-colouring moments of the horizontal figurations or a hocket-like interplay between the two parties arises. The themetization of the instrument-specific base elements, the fifths tuning of the strings and the natural spectrum of the horn become the harmonic culture medium for the whole piece.

Instrumentation: for solo violin and ensemble (1.1.1.1/1.1.0.0/pf/3.1.1.1)

I have shared a deep emotional passion for the violin concert since childhood. I was initially swept away by the multifaceted 'classics' repertoire until, with breath-taking surprise, I discovered new creations, the dynamics of which repeatedly nourished my creative side. Bettina Boller, my violin teacher at the time, led me like a guide to this precious resource. A balanced synthesis between strong emotions and structural thought processes is necessary to express this veneration. The soloist-tutti phenomenon, as a mirroring of the real-life situation individuum-collective, is of great interest to me: the transition phase from the solo into the multiplicity of the tutti movements and vice versa. This can, for example, be expressed over a single tone, which is gradually compressed until it disappears into the thicket of a neighbouring tone. Or the other way round: a compact sound structure becomes more and more refined until it dissolves into a single tone. The solo violin is understood as the impulse carrier of various such compression and refining processes. It is apparent throughout the piece, with which instrumental partner the violin enters into dialogue. This piece is based on a spectrally aligned central tone, which expands, contracts, changes colour, swells up or resigns...

This piece was commissioned by Gare du Nord Basel. The commission was to write a musical 'work commentary' on Nikolai Rimski-Korsakow's Scheherazade.
The piece focusses on the two protagonists from the 1001 Nights saga, namely the Scheherazade and the Sultan Scharyar, which Korsakow mirrors with two main themes. The duo follow these themes with the minutest intervals. A duality gradually develops from a supposed unity without actually ever leaving the combined sound corporeality.

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.

CHF: 18.00

Instrumentation: for violin and piano, with or without amplification

This open-form piece (with three piano and twenty eight violin parts) in techno-tempo, can be assembled in accordance with the performers own preference for bodily movement. Because all the violin parts must not necessarily be played it can, to a certain extent, be adapted to the performers technical skills. In opposition to music in the disco, upon which it is based, the non-amplified version is almost inaudible. This work takes as its central theme time related categories such as duration, pulse, metre, rhythm, continually questioning and changing them.

Instrumentation: for flute and string quartet

This piece is inspired by 'Sizhu' (silk and bamboo). 'Sizhu' is a traditional Chinese musical form used popularly in Central-East and Southern China. The silk bamboo ensemble consists of "soft" instruments with si silk strings (pipa, erhu, zheng) and zhu bamboo instruments (bamboo flutes, dizi). In this work the composer tries to integrate the ideas of traditional Chinese music with modern Western composition techniques. The silk is soft - 'Yin' (feminine): pianissimo and lento. The bamboo is hard - 'Yang' (masculine): fortissimo and allegro. Although the instruments, the musicians, the way of composing and time have all been transformed the spirit of the music and the Chinese emphasis of the musical language remains unchanged.

Instrumentation: for violin solo

Compulsary piece for the 2004 Koeckert Competition.
'Irritationen' are amenities or excitors that provoke. Terms such as 'unsicher machen', 'verwirren' and 'berunruhigen' are added to this meaning in the 1800s (through their proximity to the verb 'irren'). In this sense, 'Irritationen' indicate profound connections, where to live with them harmoniously is not an absolute given from the outset.
