The completely dissimilar sound generation of flute and percussion, for example with regard to the acquisition and decay times, formed an important compositional aspect while working on this new ouvre. This dissimilitude, by analogy, is also transferred to the temporal configuration insofar as the rhythmical form of extremely tight motorical passages ("moltoritmico") ranges over diverse intermediate stages to flexible handling parts ("tempo fluido") producing, thereby, tightly packed episodes with highly differentiated timbral play alongside processes where virtuosity in the traditional sense is central. It is so that the trio produces in quick succession various states, which are highly demanding for the interpreters, with regards interaction and playing technique.

Four percussionists traverse the rows where the audience sit following a pre-drawn choreographic plan. The crashing of the cymbals behind the head and close to the ears allows the sound to reach directly into the inner body. There develops a kaleidoscope of overlapping pitches which intensify or extinguish each other, interfere or harmonise - the result is an almost ‘private’ sound. The inner and outer, the near and far, the slowly changing sculptural figure from sounding metal is a communication transcending explanation: Message.

Percussion set-up to include: Three pans, zinc bowl, water ladle, water gong, pedal timpani, Basel drum, military snare, piccolo snare, two wood-felt sets, ten cow bells, two tam tams, Peking opera gong, six cymbals, kazoo, vibraslap. The illogical and anti-perspectivist text, and a few Wölfli-like somisation fragments are formed and set to music in individual strata. These strata are laid one on top of the other in a collage, betraying Wolfli's frequent tendency towards queer folklorism. The timpani are the central and recurrent element throughout.

A symphony concertante in one movement with two themes from G.Bizet. A very effective and rewarding piece in which over thirty-five percussion instruments play.

A delicacy for every percussion ensemble and a chance to demonstrate virtuosity.

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.

These 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.

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.

Two versions: one is based on a sculpture by Heinz Häberli; it consists of twelve stone pillars (roughly life-size), amongst which the percussionists shuffle about while playing. The other version is played in any combination on any twelve stones, slabs, pipes, bricks etc..

sFr. 47.00 , € 36.00
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. This gives the impression of a loosely fabricated form. It is sonorously very soft with lots of sounds and lots of interlocking rhythms. Requires a conductor.

For the Chinese, the ‘Yin’ and the ‘Yang’ were in the universe from the beginning and all creatures are animated by the ‘Qi’, the breath of life. Inspired by the order of the 64 hexagrams of the Book of Mutations and their composition in six masculine or feminine symbols, I divided this piece into six registers and wrote the music of the 64 hexagrams consecutively for six musicians.
sFr. 23.00 , € 18.00
I chose unusual percussion instruments on purpose because these objects are part of our everyday life, yet their sound is rarely heard in concert halls. Some instruments and tones have symbolic meanings. Because there is no set pitch, rhythmic organization is of the utmost importance.

Chinese calligraphy is the essence of Chinese art. For me personally, it stands as an original score. From written characters, sounds emerge. With the words, music is created.

The title comes from Gottlieb Muffat’s (1690-1770) ‘Componimenti Musicale’. In this piece two rather contrasting movements are set against each other (chamber musical registration and ‘Pleno’ effects, combine agile percussion and string figuration with long held single notes with chords, strict structures with improvisatory elements, and various blends of organ and orchestral sound).

Sappho and Alkaios from the isle of Lesbos are amongst the most prestigious representatives of Greek lyrics strongly connected with the Orpheus saga. After the heavenly singer has lost his beloved Eurydice to the underworld and, spurned by his endless mourning, he seeks the love of other women. Bacchante tear him to pieces in an angry rage and cast his head into the sea. The tide washes it onto the shores of Lesbos - here his mouth is once again brought to speech by the lyric of the island. Mythological notions merge with personal experience and sufferance in connection with the erotic. Eros is the ‘weirdest God’ (Alkaois) whose effect is to rip open the abyss between the highest fulfilment and the degeneration towards death. The elemental force with which he encompasses man awakes in him an orpheic longing for immortality and the desire to overcome the underworld; simultaneously bringing even more painfully the forlornness of his wish to consciousness. While Alkaios attempts to forget in wild drunkenness and sexual indulgence, we eavesdrop on Sappho, and the dark tones of a wish for love in which pain resonates with the transient. EIS EROTA combines fragments from both poets to produce a dialogue on the subject of love and death.
