Works and Projects

These will eventually be translated to english. Each work will (eventually) get a page of its own. Up to now this is already the case for some. Stay tuned

As part of the NOW! Festival 2019 we composed pieces for four MIDI controlled pianos standing in the four corners of the RWE Pavillion (the chamber music hall of Philharmonie Essen), Making not only use of possibilities that humans physically cannot play, but also of the spatial arrangement and the synchronization possibilities of the computer […]

Blickwechsel is an improvisation project originally invented by dancer and choreographer Henrietta Horn and organ player and pianist Matthias Geuting, where I was invited to participate. I was sceptical at first, and not trusting the concept of free improvisation really much, especially when several forms of art (dance, music, performance) come together. Nevertheless I tried. […]

For the exhibition “Der Punkt an dem das Bild an das Reale rührt” I used already an extremely shortened version of what I did in Carbonized, where the sound layer took a development of more than 6 hours. This was then mixed and contextualized with the works of the students who participated in the project. […]

Less a monster, more a creature that does not correspond to any norm, this piece is questioning norms of interactions of different art forms with relish. „Untier“ pursues aspects of previous works lieg e.g. “Kaiserkleider” od “Rotlicht by Henrietta Horn or works by Theater der Klänge (e.g. Modul|a|to|r, Hoereographien, Suite intermediale, Vanitas) featuring Thomas Neuhaus […]

The Composers each made 30 minutes of sound, distributed to 4 channels […]

I was asked by the newly founded Ensemble S201 to contribute a piece for their concert to honor my colleague Günter Steinke, which I happily did. I then wrote an algorithmically generated score for flute, bassclarinet, cello, accordion and piano in a straight 5/4, all in triads, which, when properly played may evoke some jazzy […]

Accordionist and Folkwang Professor Mie Miki organized a series of concerts of Folkwang teachers and students at the Folkwang Museum in Essen. She asked me, if I could contribute something, as she wanted to have some electronic music there as well. I’m not really a performer, but thought, it would be a little cheap to […]

Control Software (Arduino-based) for the “Mechanisches Schaufenster” designed and built by Jürgen Steger based on an original Bauhaus Sketch from the 1920. Commissioned by and presented at Bauhaus Dessau 2016

“Tubes” was written for the Gasometer Oberhausen. This is one of the largest closed spaces I ever came to make music in. It is about 110m in height and has a diameter of about 60m. Thus it has huge reverb times and early reflections are actually not so early.For “Tubes” the ten players sit on […]
