Cécile MartiIm Würfel (2005)
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.

Cécile MartiFive Times (2017)
Instrumentation: Fl, Ob, Kl, Hn, Fg
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.

Michael SchneiderGran Partita (2011)
Instrumentation: for wind septet (fl, ob, cl, bh, bcl, bn, hn)
"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.

Max E. KellerZwillinge (Twins) (2001)
Instrumentation: for clarinet (bcl), trombone, violoncello and piano
This work is based on the interactions of the instruments in such a manner that the very close combination of twos (twins) are at the centre and with which one, two or no 'free' instruments can consort. The musical process is born of a dialectic between the above mentioned network and its realisation through three almost archetypal musical base models.

Max E. KellerSchnitt-Muster (2002)
Instrumentation: for flute, clarinet, piano, percussion and string trio
Sometimes completely different musical types or structural samples are set aside each other in a similar way to the effect achieved while zapping through television channels, sharp cuts which seem at first random are yet intentional. Even the other meaning of 'cut-sample', the prefabrication of something based on a template or the stereotypical also receives acknowledgement through the mimicry of musical styles. In this manner various fields of popular music are touched upon - even contemporary music cannot escape.

Max E. Kellercalmo e furioso (2003-2004)
Instrumentation: for clarinet (bass clarinet), accordion and double-bass
The initial point of departure for this composition is the contrast between calm and hectic unfolded in transitions and tempo cuts on nine basic figures which, with time, develop a rich life of their own. The initial impetus provokes processes on other levels - almost like in real life.
Duration: 13' 00"
Eric GaudibertWarum? (2009)
Instrumentation: for flute, oboe and clarinet
This work is inspired by a piano piece with the same title by Schumann (Phantasiestücke op.12). It is a slow and tender piece of music which demands a great deal of concentration to master the contrapuntal lines.

Max E. KellerEingriffe (2006)
Instrumentation: for flute, clarinet, piano, violin, viola and violoncello
The initial material consists of two melodies and two rhythmical sequences; these can be varied causing their superposition's to result in a countless number of related musical forms. The recurring formal idea is the "undampered clew": a dense, wide mesh that thins out then squeezes itself into the centre of the sound space. In this clear, goal-orientated process, diversity is encroached upon: three instruments temporarily break out of the process, colourful accents engage with the continuous mezzo forte, the process stops momentarily, the residual viola tips over into the realms of noise etc.

Max E. KellerSchlaglichter (2006)
Instrumentation: for oboe, clarinet, bassoon, double bass and percussion
The three miniatures are the reshaping of the structure and instrumentation of three laconic parts of my opera "Die Axt" after "Graf Öderland" by Max Frisch, which I composed as a commission for the Komischen Oper Berlin.
Schlaglicht I is taken from the end of the 2nd act. In Schlaglicht II, the wind instrumentalists play excerpts from the three trumpets in the 1st act, while the percussion and double bass develop a new oppositional layer. Schlaglicht III transposes almost the entire 5th act where the bassoon and oboe intonate the duet between the central character and his partner, while the clarinet and double bass play the accompanying trumpet and tuba and the percussion brings in a new line.
Duration: 4' 00"
Max E. Kellergebündelt und ausfasernd (2007)
Instrumentation: for flute, clarinet (bcl), violin and piano
"gebündelt" (clustered) initially means the beginning together of different chords of varying duration, which then either die out, collapse or very quietly drift ("ausfasern"), that is to say dissolve in short, soft movements. The chords are in the forte range and vary throughout the composition with respect to dynamics and internal movement, repeating rhythms and timbral changes. The drifting ("ausfasern"), is also formed in a multifarious manner, but always remains in the quiet range.

Max E. Kellerconcertare e improvvisare (2007)
Instrumentation: for flute, oboe, clarinet (bcl), violin, viola, violoncello and improvising piano
This work contrasts notated music with improvised music. The sextet is extensively notated; the piano merely has several verbal suggestions. There are, however, also moments of improvisation in the sextet where, for example, each instrument initially and independently of the others repeats a phrase, which gradually changes following verbal instructions. Each begins this process with great intensity, playing as loud and as quickly as possible – very much in the style of early free jazz.
Duration: 14' 00"
Max E. Kellerallemal (2007)
Instrumentation: for soprano, clarinet (bcl) and piano
Texts: Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
"It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singing somebody's beard."
One of ten aphorisms written by Lichtenberg more than two hundred years ago - and still surprisingly relevant today. This musical version attempts to transpose the concise, acuminate formulation into succinct, very divergent miniatures.

Composed for the 25th anniversary of the 'ensemble für neue musik zürich', this short piece attempts to trace the path to togetherness (ensemble), from I to we. A unity is drawn twice from a dense fabric of independent lines, initially on a trill surface and then in unison at the end.

Max E. KellerKeim - con sorpresa (2013)
Instrumentation: for flute clarinet (bcl), piano, violin, viola, violoncello
This work develops from a simple kernel on the one hand, and displays surprising aspects on the other. And so the kernel grows exuberantly, quasi-uncontrolled, in unpredictable directions, notes remain surprising - like mistakes - enduring to form a surface of contrasts. Suggestions expand into preludes, after beats into codas; the surfaces become noise-like. These surfaces dominate from the middle part onwards, and the kernal fragments and repeats, simultaneously rising up as a pulse. In addition to the little surprises, four structures are spliced in, none of which have anything to do with the kernel: sorpresa.

Instrumentation: Flöte, Klarinette, Oboe, Violine Violoncello, Cembalo
Im Zentrum der Komposition steht die sog. kreisende Bewegung, welche aus Überlagerungen von rhythmischen und melodischen Sequenzen fortwährend neue Konstellationen generiert. Mehrfach entwinden sich freie, improvisatorische Formen dieser strengen Architektur. Sie findet ihren Höhepunkt in einer dichten, vierfachen Überlagerung von zwei Duos und zwei Soli, die sich abbauen und schliesslich auf einem gemeinsamen Akkord enden.

Max E. KellerHolzschnitte (2017)
Instrumentation: Flöte, Klarinette in B (Bassklar.), Schlagzeug, Harfe, Violine, Viola, Violoncello
Holzschnitte sprechen einfache Wahrheiten ohne viel Beiwerk unzweideutig, unmissverständlich und bisweilen auch verletzend direkt aus. Nicht zuletzt deshalb sind Holzschnitt in der politischen Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts oft verwendet worden. In der Komposition "Holzschnitte" geht es in diesem Sinne in 7 sehr unterschiedlich langen Teilen um einfache musikalische Archetypen, die durch Überlagerung der 7 Instrumente (also Polyphonie) und Variation durchaus eine gewisse Komplexität entwickeln können. Im 4. Teil werden analog dazu in Stichworten das Scheitern und die enorme Zahl menschlicher Opfer bei der Umsetzung sozialistischen Ideologie in der Realität verbal ausgesprochen. Nur Vietnam bleibt als positives Beispiel übrig.

Max E. KellerVom Elementaren her (2017)
Instrumentation: Flöte, Klarinette (Bassklarinette), Klavier, Violine, Viola, Violoncello
Unsere Existenz wird von Elementarem bestimmt: Macht, Hunger, Liebe, Kampf, Sexualität, Mitleid, Geld, Bewegung, Überzeugung, Veränderung, Tod ...
Auch in der Musik spielt Elementares eine wichtige Rolle, selbst wenn sie sich in komplexen Verästlungen und Verfeinerungen scheinbar weit davon entfernt. "Vom Elementaren her" geht dagegen in jedem der 6 Teile von einer einfachen Grundstruktur in aller Nacktheit aus, um sich dann in die eine oder andere Richtung zu bewegen.

Doch zu unserer Zeit gehört die Vielgestalt der Ziele, zugleich ihr schnelles Vergessen. Daher bricht der Prozess nach Erreichung seines Ziels jeweils unerwartet ab, aufs neue herrscht ein andersartig diffuser Zustand.

In diesem Stück können wir mitverfolgen, wie ein freies (oder von geräuschhaftem Urzustand befreites) Vorgehen musikalisch zuerst aufblüht und ungebunden dahinfließt, dann (im 2. Teil) innehält und nachdenkt und bald in sich kreisend stehenbleibt, später (im 3. Teil, nach der dreitaktigen Einleitung, intervallisch) systematisiert wird, um (im 4. Teil) schließlich in mehreren Phasen durch das allmähliche Einführen von „querem Material“ wie Mikroglissandi, Mikrotontriller und fast tonlosen Passagen (als „gefärbte“ Stille) aufgebrochen zu werden, um auf diese Weise eine neue, durch Erfahrung bewußter gewordene Freiheit zu erlangen.

Texts: René Wohlhauser
Ein aufsteigender Mixturklang bildet den Ausgangspunkt dieser Komposition. Er steht als musikalische Metapher für den Kampf aus der Dunkelheit ans Licht. Er erfährt im Laufe des Stückes die unterschiedlichsten Verarbeitungen bis hin zur versetzten Polyphonisierung und Fragmentierung. Doch er bleibt unerschütterlich. Die kreative Rauschhaftigkeit und der Innovationsdrang durchdringen die Satzstruktur. Es ist ein wuchtiges Anschreiben gegen die verzweifelte Hilflosigkeit angesichts der desolaten Weltlage.
