"Tandem" is a project inspired by the homonymous text of the Greek poet Orfeas Apergis. The composition aspires to evoke a vocal dialogue with our inner self, the subconscious, or the mind during moments of void and despair within a toxic relationship. It manifests dualism through feminine and masculine characters, which ultimately dissolve into a sexless, internal battle in search of the true self, the true choice, and the truth. The vocalists are envisioned as a single vocal entity, magnified by the imposing presence of a grand orchestra. This composition conjures an augmented vocal amalgamation, a unified vocal body of harmonic and rhythmic multiplicities that evolve organically over time. This work seamlessly fuses text, meaning, and music into a singular entity, creating an intricate tapestry of sound and emotion.

This is the recording of the world-premiere of my piece "A black heart, the death of a friend and the end of a place (some lessons in falling apart)", which was composed for the US-American Empyrean Ensemble. It was performed on Oct. 13th, in the Recital Hall at the Ann E. Pitzer Center of U.C. Davis, California. The piece is in four movements and features, in each part, some approach to the notion of things falling apart, falling away, and how to deal with it, if possible at all. It employs the live instruments Oboe, Clarinet, Percussion, Violin and Cello, with all instruments except the Percussion also amplified, and four different tapes. They are also in spatialised form, but this is only partially audible on the stereo recording.

Musicians in this performance were
Kyle Bruckmann, Oboe
Peter Josheff, Clarinet
Ben Prima, Percussion
Terry Baune, Violin
Thalia Moore, Cello
Matilda E. Hofmann, Conductor

Stephen Bingen, Sound Engineer

A Black Heart, The Death Of A Friend And The End Of A Place (some lessons in falling apart)

The piece "15 momente für wk" (15 moments for wk), written in 2023 in response to the unexpected, much too early and heavy loss of a great friend, Werner Korn, is a collection of 15 brief fragments. It - allegedly - encompasses a wide range of different musical ideas, "eras", and styles, so as to pay reverence to someone who really loved and was able to enjoy a vast area of musical expression. The piece was written for a memorial concert, and it is that, but it is also a sort of spiritual greeting to - well, to whatever you wish to imagine at this point: the "beyond"?, the "afterlife"? or just a hole in the ground?

Either way, it is dedicated to the memory of Werner, who lives on in our thoughts, hearts, souls and our very being, doing what we can to make more interesting music.

This performance took place on May 13th, 2025, at Arnold Schönberg Center Vienna, in a project by the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (MDW), the Forum Neue Musik. The performer here is Jure Goručan, a silent / gestural moment in the piece was taken out due to irrelevance in the audio format. I hope you enjoy it!

----------------------------------------------------

The piece "conundrum" was composed between October, 2009 and April, 2010.
I have tried out many new (at least for myself) elements of composition in this piece.

The idea behind it was the attempt to create as much rich timbres etc. as possible out of a limited tone and register space and sound space (as there also is the lack of other things as no deep tones/chords/sounds; also the ensemble builds a a homophone instrument combination with the same timbre relationship).

The violins are put up symmetrically in the semicircle, in order to create a kind of  "Real Life Dolby Surround sound" feeling of the melodic lines, sounds developments etc. by the different instruments in all possible directions and combinations (e.g., on the left - on the right, outside - inside, etc.) .

Besides, the 4th violin forms a kind of centre from which everything passes around the ball and from which as good as everything is initiated.
It was important for me, while writing the piece, to pay attention that the degree of technical difficulty is almost equal to the play within all 7 violins.
Actually an ideal piece for a big violin class, right? ^^

The world premiere of this piece took place in Tuesday, 27th April, 2010 in Joseph Haydn-Saal of the University of Music and performing Arts Vienna
within the scope of the class evening of the composition class Michael Jarrell (my teacher).
