I had wanted to write a new work for orchestra for a few years now, trying to accomplish what I wanted to say using a more conservative musical language (for me), and using less percussion than I normally like in larger ensemble pieces.  When beginning my preproduction part of the work on this piece, I was listening to Rush’s Test for Echo album, and the title of the song Time and Motion jumped out at me.

This spurred a notion in me of “Time” as a spacious, large, full, space that somehow transcends the idea of time in music (metered, pulse driven, defined, always evincing movement) weighed down in its immensity.  “Motion” of course is more literal, a counterpoint to the static nature of time as I’d envisioned it for this piece.  Still, there is a connection between the two, as well as a pairing of opposites: static vs. motion (even as both carry aspects of the other).  As I worked, I had a visual of holding a glass of liquid that had some kind of dark, colorful sediment in the bottom - in the beginning, the liquid is clear, and there is little apparent movement in the glass.  However, if you swirl the liquid, all of a sudden the sediment is brought up into the liquid, and the colorful sediment moves, becoming suspended within the fluid, and making it more opaque and less transparent until the glass’s movement is stopped. Eventually, over time, the sediment gradually falls back to the bottom of the glass, with a few bits remaining suspended.  This piece basically follows that same action: stasis to motion, transparency to opaque, and then back to time as a weighty constant, always there, then again set into motion, returning to stasis.  Almost as if entropy is a product of time, eventually dampening motion.

-------------------------------------------
I'm writing music for films, TV, Theater, Classical Concerts and for Events and Shows; I was lucky to get a real good and very broad musical education (I studied french horn, high school teaching and composing for film and TV at the Hochschule für Musik in Munich, worked as professional french horn player in leading german orchestras, conducted more than 24 orchestral filmscores); so now I'm familiar with all kinds of music styles, regardless if they are historical or if they belong to foreign cultures. I even wrote the music for three indian bollywood style films and composed pop music for the iranian market ...

My music won several prices, one for the best film music in TV during 2009 and 2010, one from the Bavarian Broadasting Company (BR) for the best contemporary sacred music in 2007, and two awards, the Silver Edda and the Audience Award at the international composing contest for music for fireworks, and finally, two for outstanding music theater for small children and one at the progressive classical music award 2019.

I'm always interested in meeting and working together with people that have artistic or musical visions. My vision is to make the world a little bit more pleasant and richer with my music ....

p.s. have a look at my other websites too!

I am an eclectic composer who writes with a postmodern mischievousness: my pieces can be comedic/ironic, simple/complex, or humble/reverent. My recent projects have taken a turn toward turn towards the sweeter side, exploring a consonant adiatonicism.
