Dieses Werk ist eine musikalische Interpretation der Struktur des "Baum des Lebens" (עץ החיים). Die Komposition begann mit einer Reihe von Nummern und durchlief mehrere Prozesse, die das Material der vorangegangenen Stufe immer wieder aufgriffen. Ob in den Systemen der Tonhöhe, des Rhythmus oder der Struktur, sie alle gingen von derselben Zahlenreihe aus, nämlich: 1,3,5,7. Diese Zahlenreihe als Ursprung des kompositorischen Geschehens führt hier durch seine Selbstschöpfung zur parametrischen Identität.

The 10-minute electroacoustic piece "Reality is the shining of a gem through the chink of a door" is conceived like a painting, without linear progression, without climax, existing rather as a state of perception. Inspired by Francis Bacon’s dissociated bodies, the ambivalent longing for intimacy, and fragile silence, the piece shapes itself into a multi-layered sonic surface. It works with inner tension, voices, noises, and silence pulse beneath the surface, yet no gesture rises into a scream.
The work is conceived as a complex sound collage, built from fragmented recordings sourced from social media, with a particular focus on the human voice. It is not the content itself, but its presence, textures, proximity, and distance that are brought to the fore.

Chains of communication do not appear here as linear conduits of information, but as fleeting, porous spaces in which meanings blur and shift. The overabundance of data is not staged as overload, but as a dissociative state.

Reality appears through cracks, freed from the shackles of mental captivity, which is nourished by the “Passions Tristes” amplified by social media: envy, fear, hatred, absurdity, and pressure.

Surfaces of waves are special not only because they are constantly in motion, but also because they appear in a vast multitude of shapes. Although their appearances differ greatly, all of these forms are generated by the same impulse source and are therefore interdependent.
Similarly, in "Surfaces d’Onde" there emerges a multitude of musical figures, gestures, identities, and memories that at first seem largely unrelated. Yet their specific constellation creates a network of memories that gradually excavates more links and commonalities between them. The piece thus becomes a way of revealing tiny glimpses of what their common impulse source might be – without ever making it audibly explicit.

A little glimpse into the electronics for my new ensemble version of "sand like gold-leaf in smithereens (ii)" for violin, ensemble, and electronics. I’ve been reshaping the piece, and it’s taking on a new form — so I wanted to share a short excerpt.

All violin sounds are recorded with Carolin Widmann, and I performed all the other acoustic instruments used in the electronics.

Huge thanks to Dejana Seculik and Sarah Saviet for their invaluable help with the violin part, to Elena Schwarz and Carolin Widmann for their support, and to Klangforum Wien for making it possible to create this new version. Premiere coming soon in 2026.
