The basic idea of this piece is to position opposing musical elements side by side, allowing them to be interpreted as contrasting (e.g. tone - noise, cycle - anti-cycle, homophony - polyphony etc…) These various dimensions and their relationship to each other are continuously redefined in the five parts of this piece. It is important however, that each plays a leading roll in one of the parts.

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.

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.

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.

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.
