Berliner Ensemble and Ersan Mondtag commissioned four ouvertures for "wagner - der ring des nibelungen (a piece like fresh chopped eschenwood)" recomposed by Thomas Köck - with no audible Wagner involved. Premiere on june 3rd 2021. 

I wrote music for a stellar 12 piece ensemble of classical musicians and improvisers. 

The compositions decontextualize tiny bits of the original Wagner ouvertures. A motive, a tempo, a piece of noise from an original recording... sometimes in the process I just played drums to the original ouvertures and used these drum recordings as a starting point for writing.

The pieces will be released as an album on backlash music on march 4th.

Frost Pattern is the first of the twin pieces "Fire and Frost Pattern", produced by Deutschlandradio Kultur in 2006.
Awarded the Phonurgia-Nova-Prize 2008 and a mention at the 35th International Competition of Electroacoustic Music and Sonic Art in Bourges 2008.
CD and download available at the label Gruenrekorder.

"The sound compositions fire pattern (2007) and frost pattern (2006) describe the extremes of hot and cold. Almost identical in terms of their formal structure, the twin pieces reflect the acoustic impact of the energies unleashed by fire and ice, from the loudest sound event in each case – the eruption of a volcano and the collision of an iceberg – through to cooling or melting in a more moderate temperature range."
