This piece is in the first part experimental, that means each interpreter must find his/her own way of arranging and choreographing the speaking and performing. The middle part should sound like an ecstatic dance. The third part presents very little rhetorical material to be performed affectionately with the utmost intensity. It disapears into silence.

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.

Duration: 16' 45"

CHF: 26.70

Instrumentation: for soprano, alto flute, bass clarinet

Texts: Rob Holloway

The title stems from the Greek words "Aphasia" and "Apheresis". The original meaning of Aphasia is "speechlessness", this is often translated into English as "loss of language". The leaving out of a vowel or syllable at the beginning of a word, either for causes pertaining to language history or because of metric or articulation reasons, is referred to as "Apheresis".
The dealing of language in aPhasis reflects these processes with the explosive, blurting out of word clusters, which are deconstructed as the piece progresses. This process is musically embedded by the voice in a sharply contrasting sound image comprising wordless, archaic sounding 'vocalese' passages, which are hummed or interpreted with a half-open mouth. The accompanying instruments - written here in a new version for bass clarinet and violoncello - negotiate the tonal space between these two dynamics.
The libretto comes from the pen of British poet Rob Holloway.

Trio

Instrumentation: for flute, marimbaphone, vibraphone and persussion instruments

The completely dissimilar sound generation of flute and percussion, for example with regard to the acquisition and decay times, formed an important compositional aspect while working on this new ouvre.
This dissimilitude, by analogy, is also transferred to the temporal configuration insofar as the rhythmical form of extremely tight motorical passages ("moltoritmico") ranges over diverse intermediate stages to flexible handling parts ("tempo fluido") producing, thereby, tightly packed episodes with highly differentiated timbral play alongside processes where virtuosity in the traditional sense is central. It is so that the trio produces in quick succession various states, which are highly demanding for the interpreters, with regards interaction and playing technique.

These short pieces were written for the marathon concert IMPULS 2011 in Graz, where approximately 10 pieces were performed by the flute class of Eva Furrer.
My composition comprises 9 short segments arranged under the following three basic types:
Bird-like calls, melodies with partly large jumps and loud morse rhythms.
I discover the tonal colour of the piccolo to be white and cold.
The Rheto-Romanic title rather fittingly means "ice tongues".

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.

Five Times ist in fünf Sätze gegliedert, welche die Wahrnehmung von musikalischen Verläufen zu unterscheiden versuchen. Dabei wird zeitlichen Verläufen wie Statik oder Dynamik, Vorhersehbarkeit oder Unvorhersehbarkeit nachgegangen. Der erste Satz folgt dem Aufbau eines Naturtonspektrums und entwickelt sich ausgehend vom Einklang zum weit aufgefächerten Klangvolumen, einen vorhersehbaren Verlauf. Der zweite Satz fokussiert auf der andauernden Entwicklung von musikalischen Elementen wie beispielsweise der Umspielung von Zentraltönen oder der Fragmentierung melodischer Gestalten. Der dritte Satz entwickelt sich, ausgehend von horizontaler Linienführung, verlaufend zu akkordischen Klangspektren. Der vierte Satz schafft Kontrast indem das Tempo der sich entwickelnden Elemente vorerst limitiert wird. Wiederholung und Homorhythmik dominieren das Satzgefüge bis auf dass es zerbirst. Der fünfte Satz sucht die Unvorhersehbarkeit in einer wechselhaften Entwicklung und fungiert als Reminiszenz an Vergangenes: er spielt mit dem Erinnern und streift Motive, Klänge und Strukturen, welche in Satz 1-4 erschienen sind.

The structure and course of this piece is based on the periodic table of chemical elements. The three instruments represent specific groups of elements within the seven periods of the periodic system (metals, transition metals, non-metals, noble gasses). Small variations in playing technique and "plasticity" represent the chemical properties of each single element in one-bar 5/4 "portraits", which are linked to form a suspended tonal stream.

"The seagull continues to play. But she is no longer alone. They came one after the other, against the wind. A bassoon is here, a long, thin lament; an oboe, guttural; a horn, horns, various colours, dry in the brass; a deep voice, a sonorous bass draws long, thick threads through the sound carpet. Above me on the craggy ledge sit thirteen seagulls, each with a tone of its own. Highs and lows, warmth and coolness, a mystical choir, a serenade from within the wind."
The number of seagulls in this excerpt from a short story by the Swiss author Andreas Neeser makes reference to the number of instruments in Mozart's famous wind serenade 'Gran Partitia', which also lends its name to Neeser's short story. Published in a volume of stories entitled 'Unsicherer Grund' or 'Unsafe Ground' (Haymon, 2010), Neeser's 'Gran Partita' pays homage to nature and the legends of Bretagne: An observation made at the westernmost side of Bretagne and a metaphor within which man and his emotions are mirrored.
Commissioned by the Bläsersolisten Aargau, my 'Gran Partita' reflects the music in Neeser's text and the nature it evokes - the structural elements of the short story and also the geology and fauna of Bretagne. The instrument's scales symbolise granite, the predominant stone in this area, and the vegetation and topos of the sea and the call of the seagulls. Non-musical parameters define the musical material, the form of which offers absolute priority to the melodic line. This leads to an autonomous sound metaphor comprising lines and colours, that makes the underlying substance as an explanation no longer necessary.

In the Inuit language the word "Alinnik" means point of no return, irreversibility, break. Greenland's Inuit are a population with an extremely original cosmogony based on the relation between sun and moon. Their view of the world is completely coherent in itself, mediated by shamanism but seems utterly unordered and chaotic from a perspective based on Descartes and western ideology. Some 200 years ago, tradesmen and missionaries set out to cultivate this population, which now has one of the highest suicide rates in the world. A culture - a way of thinking, feeling and acting - in a process of destructuration if not destruction, heading towards a point of no return.
