COMPOSER
Acoustic Work
  Currently, my concert music turns more and more to microtonal areas of exploration and to an inclusive understanding of micro-temporal geometries. However seemingly experimental the context of my creative work, I still strive for the development of a solid technique in my every day routine: the quest for clarity and the pursuit of mystification may after all be synonymous, but such associations are profoundly-felt fact only to one who is in command of both logical discourse and value-free experience.

The list following includes all the pieces I have written which I consider to be compositions, i.e. developed musical structures in which successive sound events correspond logically or strongly to an abstract, poetic narrative, which in its turn reflects a musical subject or idea and is ultimately independent of its own principles and formal elements.
