Music01.1 / Composition

Right. Wrong.
Sounds good.

Between singable choral music, familiar texts and deliberately open endings.

Weihnȧcht

Austrian Christmas songs arranged in a modern language for choir. ‘Es wird scho glei dumpa’ is already complete.

Es wird scho glei dumpa
III / The fascination of choir

Four voices. One sound.

Every voice follows its own line. Only when soprano, alto, tenor and bass meet does something emerge that none of them could create alone.

Take one voice away. Leave only one. Then bring the choir back together – harmony becomes audible as soon as it is missing.

Jodler vom Abholen

A piece that does not take itself too seriously.

02 / Instrumental

Minuet in D minor

A musical diversion.

03 / Early attempt

Rosenmarsch

For two flutes and two clarinets.

VI / Archive of the lost

The cemetery of abandoned pieces.

For deleted files, unfinished sketches and pieces that were simply never pursued. Their names are no longer preserved. The experience is.

01

Unnamed sketches

Left behind after only a few bars.

02

Abandoned movements

There was a beginning. The ending never arrived.

03

Deleted files

Not good enough – or simply not at the right time.

04

Ideas without a future

Better in the head than on paper.
