FIRMAMENT (2025) I.II.III.IV. (unabridged)

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.
