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.

Through the elongation of time in the deeper and darker register, the music (or rather the perceiving ear) nestles in an intermediate area between process and static, as if observed through a magnifying glass. From the abundance of innumerable possibilities emerges the presence of a singular transition.

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.

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.

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.

After the picture bearing the same title by Paul Klee

Instrumentation: for oboe, bassoon, guitar and viola

In the painting "Wie Kraut und Rüben" by Paul Klee transparent white dots are spread over a red background in irregular rows and create thereby a subtle pulsation within a regular grid. By painting over the dots with the brush, these dots turn into lines, spots and signs. This technique, which Klee called "pointillate", has been transposed to dots of sound, arranged in rows, superimposed in irregular, free rhythms by the four instruments.

Instrumentation: for five bassoons

How can a quartet arrive at the title "Cinque" (five)? The form is made up of five basic structures, which are repeated in sequence a total of five times. The temporal structure overlying this form comprises five different durations, which occur quasi-on average five times. Only the outer pattern of the music is thus written, the 'barrel' so to speak. What the wine has to offer is only apparent while drinking it. And as the 4 bassoons work intensely together, something new is created, from the four comes a fifth.

For teaching purposes.
This short composition was created for Dieter Hähnchen's collection for teaching purposes.
It begins with a stark contrast between the two dissimilar instruments: a quick, quiet piano motion in the middle register is followed immediately by a deep, loud and long tone from the bassoon. The motives are interchanged, successive becomes simultaneous, and other motives appear. An amalgamation process develops that finally plays out on a noise sound, multiphonic and rhythmical pulse level: the merging of that which does not immediately appear to belong together.
