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!

I am a Vienna-based composer, improviser and musician. Mostly contemporary / new music, with an emphasis on socials space(s) and agencies emerging from artistic practice. Maybe consequently, I am also very interested in making music and sound for theatre and/or theatrical pieces, or other ways of working with music and sound beyond the finite space of concert practice.
