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.

A project between improvisation and composition
for bass clarinet/tenor saxophone, percussion, piano, violin, viola and double bass
sFr. 26.00 , € 20.00
The wide scope between improvisation and composition is calibrated. There are, however, no long notated passages but form sequences, short notated phrases as starting points, verbal instructions and graphics - right through to improvisation as one extreme. The musical material is based on the archetypal elements 'accent', 'figure' and 'layer' as mentioned in the title. The through-composed parts "unione e tremolo" for violin and viola (movement II) and the violin solo "NONONONO" (movement VII) are inserted between the six movements as the other extreme.

sFr. 26.00 , € 20.00
This piece, without text, was written for the altus Luiz Alves da Silva. It works primarily with oscillating, non transition forming elements such as register change, upbow - downbow, to and fro movements etc. Continually changing parameters such as dynamics and tempo transitions are to be avoided in so far as they are not induced by the instrument or the human being itself.

for violoncello, double-bass, baritone saxophone, bass clarinet, two tenor-bass trombones and two percussion instruments

An initial piece based on repetition presented in such a way that the repeated elements, located on many different levels, are not always immediately recognizable.

5805 René Wohlhauser: Duometrie (1985/86) 5'
Ergon 12
for flute and bass clarinet
sFr. 23.00 , € 18.00
External time levels (as has been described by Stephen Hawking, with linear time comes an additional vertical imaginary time base out of which there exists a dependent area with no oppositional beginning and end and which is conceived as instantaneous) stands in relation to the piece's inner nature, its complex dramatic time organisation, which amongst other things is one of its products, and in which, for both players, time is not continuous - often with different tempi having to be played simultaneously. An expression of incompatible contradiction, so-called antimony, reminiscent of Kant's 'Transcendental Dialectic'.
