Both piano pieces point towards two realms of experience. Free rhythmical sequences alternate with metrically fixed ones in the mourning song, whereas the hymn presents bold tremoli followed by fanfare-like unisono sounds. A clearly articulated space/time feeling is achieved by using unusual playing techniques.

Dedicated to Siang Wong. Following 'Ich und Du' for two oboes, 'ich und ich' for piano solo is the second part of a cycle in progress tackling the issue of one's own position. 'ich und ich' is a work about the sound of the piano and an exploration of a mediation between expressively charged material and musical facts, which develop of their own accord.

In this tuning the sound of the concert piano is crucially altered and the first aural impression is that of an alien, unknown instrument. ‘Spazio’ means room or fading speech. Each pitch in the middle and high registers of the piano is ‘spatially’ tuned. The three strings of every individual tone differs by a sixth-tone (33 cents), only the single bass strings remain unaltered. With this scordatura it is possible to play dense clusters, which, through the pressing of ten keys, allows thirty different pitches to sound. To suggest a word: ‘soundcubes’.

I. Zehn Kugeln (Prolog) - Ten Spheres (prologue) II. Veränderte Luft - Altered Air III. Achtundachzig Punkte (Epilog) - Eighty-eight Points (Epilogue) Nonequidistant complete retuning (non octave repetitative) This three-part composition is based on a tuning of the piano whereby all of the pitches are altered. The mutations of the frequencies amounts to 1-44 cents higher or deeper (smaller than a quarter tone) and results in a variety of different intervals. The effect of the scordatura is likened to the slight movement of a hand through a regular, organised structure. The main body of the work is occupied with the shifted fifths and octaves which join to produce great harmonic figures before dissolving. The slow prologue and the quick epilogue consist of the 88 pitches of the piano, firstly as ‘harmonic spheres’ and finally as additive rows of points in a quick continuous tempo.

Equidistant, choral five sixths tone tuning. All tones of the piano (excluding those in the bass register) are chorally modified and tuned at twice 166 cents augmented. A tone (key) results in a ‘triad’ which is somewhat larger than a minor third. This tone is the material for the composition entitled ‘HALO’ which means a circle of light (around the moon) or a hue. Here, as in ‘Spazio’ (there it was chorally twice 33 cents), pitches are explicitly perceivable only in the bass register. In the middle and high registers the melodies are scattered and are only perceivable as a whole. The sounds are by no means intended as purely harmonic, the predominantly soft and gentle sounds are interspersed with percussive, drum-like hard (martellato) beats. In this fourth tuning the multidimensionality of a sound is explored anew and is a further attempt to remove the piano from its idiosyncratic position.

Non-equidistant, complete retuning (3-89 cents) The symmetrically built, modified tuning of the 88 pitches is related to the scordatura in ‘Veränderte Luft’ - in this case however the degree of modification has doubled and amounts to not more than 89 cents. The possible interval combinations are exceedingly manifold and coloured differently in every octave. The variations have no theme in the classical sense but are rather more rotationally permutable. The consonant intervals, like the octaves, fifths or fourths, are perceived as being subtly altered through the scordatura and acquire a vibrating form. By crossing the voices it is possible for the ear to continually select the melodic ways anew, the sound combinations are arranged symmetrically or additively. The accumulated tones at the end of the composition are gradually lost in the deepest registers and fade away like a dark trail….

These days, a machine is increasingly the conversational partner of humans and so it is in "Selbstgespräche". A small digital apparatus is positioned directly onto the piano and is operated predominantly by the pianist using two foot pedals. The apparatus changes, morphs or repeats that which is played by the pianist, who in turn reintervenes in this transformed sound.

The secondary titles of these three pieces are: ‘Eingang und Kanon’ (Entrance and Canon), ‘Lied’ (Song), ‘Kanon und Ausgang’ (Canon and Exit). Both of the outer movements symmetrically encapsulate a central movement, the whole of which utilises the full dynamic range of the piano and is developed from a paraphrase taken from a short passage from the second movement of Schubert's G Major sonata.

Di d`inviern (Luisa Famos) "Winter landscape" – piano clusters slowly 'thaw'. Shadow scales form, echo chords. Bells sound in the distance. 3. Queder engiadinais (Artur Caflisch) Bizarre text about a man who is asked by his wife not to smoke in the living room. Half sung, half spoken. The piano part is strictly composed using a numerical series. There is no alignment between the two musicians.

This open-form piece (with three piano and twenty eight violin parts) in techno-tempo, can be assembled in accordance with the performers own preference for bodily movement. Because all the violin parts must not necessarily be played it can, to a certain extent, be adapted to the performers technical skills. In opposition to music at the disco, upon which it is based, the non-amplified version is almost inaudible. This work takes as its central theme time related categories such as duration, pulse, metre, rhythm and coninually questions and changes them.

Inspired by Chinese calligraphy. As a way of reaching a fusion of the visual and the auditory - while the two instruments play I do some calligraphy.
In a lyrically soft manner this music copes almost completely without the typical violoncello cantilenas. Instead combinations of intervals full of tension are used in order to accentuate the active gestures in all three aspects of a whole.
A sonata-like formation which forms a congruent statement by bringing together two very oppositional instruments which are hardly capable of a tonal unity: the flute associated rather with the quiet and intimate and the expansive, differentiating modern grand piano.
The separate tones in this traditional three-movement composition search each other out and feel for worthy connections. Shrill aplenty but not without euphony.

'Flight of thought' is a term used in psychiatry and means a mad, neurotic drifting of thoughts.

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.

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 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.

There is rarely a greater difference noted between two instruments regarding sound generation, volume, appearance and aura than between the piano and the recorder.

The initial material consists of two melodies and two rhythmical sequences; these can be varied causing their superpositions 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.
sFr. 26.00 , € 20.00
"gebündelt" (clustered) initially means the bringing 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.
sFr. 26.00 , € 20.00
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.

Text: 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.

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.

For advanced amatuers. This piece was composed for the music Matura. The education of young people is the same for all until the Matura stage. Here, at the first major turning point in their lives, individuals must decide which direction they wish to take. Thus the 'turning point' became one fundamental concept behind this work, walking together and walking alone became another. They are processed on various levels - both on the quasi-motif and the formal.

"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.

"Klänge streifen, Rhythmen streifen, Melodien streifen, Streifen schichten, Streifen verweben, Streifen verdichten. Streifend durch Klanglandschaften ziehen, streifend Klangfarben berühren,streifend Streifen streifen......." Two string instruments stand face on with two percussion instruments whereby the "percussion's" primary objective is to attempt tonal alignment with the strings. The vibraphone plays a coupling role between the two parties. Polar oscillating movements, stratifying and sometimes recolouring, flowing sound bands and flitting pulsations alternate throughout the piece.

This piece, without text, was written for the altus Luiz Alves da Silva.
