  • Wien, Österreich
  • I want to share with you a very special moment for me, where with excellent musicians we will interpret three of my compositions, each one with a story that you can discover with us.
  • for the Unvollendete Erzählungen piece based on Margaret Atwood's book "Stone Mattress" The first three tales of this book are connected by narrations and reflections of a poet’s two wives, and lover.
  • the author tries to tell us the same story, but from the point of view of each character. Musically this narrative technique is used in the development of sound material.
  • The details of the dialogue between a man and a woman are emphasised by the camera positions typical of feature film: expressive close-ups and mid shots in the dialogue between the cello and the piano.
  • Drei Lieder für Mezzosopran und Klavier based on the poetry of Werner Walter Damm combine features of the poetic rhythm and original composition with the visual details of a classical concert recording inclusively the top shot of the piano to highlight the classical setting with a fresh perspective.
  • Eine Nacht an der Donau / A night on the Danube
  • The visual concept of Eine Nacht an der Donau, created together with director Anna Patritsiya, invites the listener to experience a unique audiovisual experience, where the percussive features of the score are enhanced by the contrasting colour scheme and immerse the listener in a meditative state guiding them through all three seminal parts of the work.
