Six life-images

Instrumentation: for three pairs of (string and/or wind) instruments

A cycle based on savage and partly lost writings; "Die schöne Frau von Thun" uses six instruments, which can be relatively freely chosen; "Tobold" is a compositional concept, formal and extremely variable in its instrumentation (the composer has arranged one version); "Das Mädchen mit den schönen Augen" is the last work before the composer's non-composing phase, maliciously simple, supposedly humorous – it is dedicated to the performer Marion Leyh.

Two fantasy pieces

Instrumentation: for oboe and trumpet (or two other, slightly different instruments)

A cycle based on savage and partly lost writings; "Die schöne Frau von Thun" uses six instruments, which can be relatively freely chosen; "Tobold" is a compositional concept, formal and extremely variable in its instrumentation (the composer has arranged one version); "Das Mädchen mit den schönen Augen" is the last work before the composer's non-composing phase, maliciously simple, supposedly humorous - it is dedicated to the performer Marion Leyh.

Duration: 3' 00"

Instrumentation: for string quartet and improvisations trio

This work leaves behind the identity of the classical tradition and its strengths (string quartet is widely notated; frequent free improvisation from the jazz tio (saxophone, piano and percussion)) and brings them together only there where real points of contact exist. Integration II and III are conceived in a similar way.

Collected concepts for various realisations with a maximum of eleven performers; a teeny-weeny 'concert tub' produced in cooperation with Tzie Elgna and Ludger von Diedrichsfeld, Dora Hermine Eybling and Margot Erdmute von Drajschenfleygh. It is to be understood as a kind of worthy comparison to the piece 'Babel'. Dedicated to the conceptualist Marion Leyh (the second partner).

Six Images of Life

Instrumentation: for three pairs of (plucked and/or percussion) instruments

A last cycle, which mirrors the first in many ways, based closely on restructured texts by the poet. "Die Liebe in den leichten Worten" continues semantic distraction in unsophisticated seconds, deceptive and beautiful; "Kanal" is a conceptual composition, creating artificial folklore and sentences of a piece of prosa, quasi idyllic continuation (the composer himself has created one version); "Das leichte End in Bern" is to be scored in a monochrome fashion with six identical instruments. It tells of disappearance into anonymity, of poltergeists and much more; it is dedicated to the performer Eva Fuhrer.

Duration: 9' 00"

CHF: 25.80

Instrumentation: for bassoon solo, bass flute, bass clarinet and trumpet

This piece was composed for the 30th anniversary of the ensemble Contrechamps. The title corresponds to the timing which Bartók set for his Allgero Barbaro. The trio (flute, clarinet, trumpet) play some extracts of this work with breathing sounds only, while the solo bassoon "sings" the beginning of the Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, also by Bartók.
It is possible to use other wind instruments then the ones chosen here.

Instrumentation: for youths with any instruments (including everyday objects and carnival market instruments) + 2 saxophones and violoncello

The improvisational models "Kartenspiel", "Zündschnur", "Sonntagnachmittag", "Wasserfall" and "Gewitter" are first and foremost to be understood as individual concepts. Duration and instrumentation remain open. The pieces can be realised using normal instruments or everyday objects (plastic bags, paper, pan lids, table tops, pieces of wood, pieces of metal, cutlery, crockery etc.). "Wasserfall" and "Kartenspiel" are possible exceptions as the graphics require pitch and pitch modulation, but even this can be realised using carnival market instruments, lotus flutes or the voice as well as conventional instruments. "Gewitter" can also be the framework of a whole form: One of the other concepts can be played during a stop under a balcony etc..
"In Regen, Blitz und Donner" is ultimately a through-composed version of the preceding possibility where three further instruments are added.

In 'Mobile' each instrumentalist plays in any order the elements that appeal to him/her the most. Each has the same 25, highly disparate elements at their disposal. The social downside of such a free choice of dissimilar elements (and instruments) is arbitrariness, uniformity and disorientation. A typical example of this is the Internet: We are inundated by an endless torrent of information expressed here by spoken or sung texts, which include a sensational news report appearing alongside a detail of insurance law, news of a border incident alongside a rescue plan for the financial crisis and so on...

Das Werk geht von der Annahme aus, dass jegliche Notation (jede der 120 Seiten) szenisch (optisch und/oder akustisch) umgesetzt werden kann; viele Seiten sind direkt interpretierbar, viele andere erfordern Fantasie; zu diesen muss wohl Einiges hinzuerfunden werden, jedoch nicht zu schon definierten Parametern; es ist oft unumgänglich, nur Ausschnitte der Notation zu verwenden, wenn die Zeit nicht ausreicht, wobei aber Symmetrien bewahrt werden sollen.
