These are 5 miniatures for marimba, percussion and electronics. In it I explored the process of decay, how a very fluorishing sound softly dies out in the course of 5 movements. This piece is one of 6 winner of the ECCO composition competition and was performed by Slagwerk Den Haag on February 2nd 2021

In Gedenken an Pythagoras und Shakespeare, die ein ähnlicher Gedanke verband - "die ganze Welt ist eine Bühne, wir sind bloß nur Spieler" – schöpft dieses Werk die Inspiration aus der absurden Realität, die uns umgibt. Um  sich dieser Realität zu nähern, erscheint es manchmal als der einzig richtige Weg sich in einen Kosmos von Humor, Ironie und extremen Empfindungen mit Hilfe von Klang zu flüchten. Dies ist ein musikalisches Experiment, das als Satire verstanden werden will, wobei die Musiker auch als Kommentatoren agieren und in Verbindung mit der Musik die Tür zu einer „anderen“ Bühne eröffnen.

Burst (2018-2019)

Idioma I for cello and electronics

'Fanfare' was commissioned by Music Biennale Zagreb in 2019 with theme "City and space" in mind. Six brass players of Ad gloriam ensemble are surrounding the audience, accompanied by 6 loudspeakers. The piece tries to portray time as if it were another spacial dimension, referencing the nostalgia of old chansons about Zagreb, that were used as source material. Hence the opening and closing movements are formally a mirror image of one another. Furthermore, the electronic was composed by reshuffling short sound units from various songs about the city, matching the spoken sound of the text of those same songs. Like collective memory, these sonic fragments become detached from linear timeline and pop-up from different corners of room as if site-specific.
