What's new?
My current project is a clarinet concerto for Thorsten Johanns and the WDR orchestra (WP January 21, 2023, Cologne). – Besides, an extended version of my triangle-driven Diatonic Symphony is in the works (WP January 12, 2023 within the scope of our Schwelbrand Stage Reconquista).
Welcome!

→ Best, navigate directly to the audio files or – even better – straight to the next concert:
August 1, 2022, Plateau d’Assy
op. 973 »Bestialisches« (Pauline Klaus & guests – Festival Les Musicales d’Assy)

Second best (to whoever prefers the philological distance), read my texts about music in order to know in advance how to talk about the music you still have to hear (»… virtuoso … electronics … very loud … difficult …«)
Third best, consult my biography in order to judge if the prizes are renowned, the teachers respected & the festivals established…
Fourth best, believe the reviews:
“rapid tempo and enormous volume” dpa – “fragments of lunacy” Neue Westfälische – “virtually breathless” dpa – “eruptive, fragmented, and cross-grained” Anaclase – “uncanny” Kulturserver NRW – “uncommon energy” ConcertoNet – “beautiful” Thierry Vagne
What happens besides?
- I direct the festival Schwelbrand – loud and energetic music events in Berlin and beyond.
- A clarinet concerto for Thorsten Johanns & WDR orchestra is scheduled for January 2023.
- New works with Ensemble Modern and Neue Vocalsolisten are in the planning stages.
