Next Saturday (11/12/2011), my new piece Caladan will be premiered in the concert Spacy Sounds in the Schönbrunner Schlosstheater in Vienna. The piece was written for the new “Spatial-Acoustics-Instrument” of the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, which is a combination system of Ambisonics and Wavefield Synthesis. This instrument will be introduced to the public during this concert. Next to my piece, there will be music by Karlheinz Essl, Richard Karger, Katharina Clement, Marko Ciciliani,  Caroline Profanter, Igor Lintz-Maues, Onur Dülger and more.

A part of Caladan will be previewed two days earlier at the same place, during a gala of the university. Thereby, single sounds of the piece will be gestically spatialised by the usage of two Theremin-Controllers.

The festival is a required event for anyone interested in knowing what will be developed aesthetically in the coming years in electronic music, and for anyone who wishes to be at the hub of contemporary creative output.

Found this video on my harddrive and like to share it with you! The dress rehearsel of my piece ‘Zu Spielen bei offenem Fenster’, performed with the pianist Andreas Link, for a concert at the Folkwang University of the Arts/Essen in january 2011.

I’m glad to announce, that my piece ‘Im vorderen Zimmer des hinteren Raums’ was selected for the ICMC 2011 in Huddersfield/UK.

Since 1974 the International Computer Music Conference has been the major international forum for the presentation of the full range of outcomes from technical and musical research, both musical and theoretical, related to the use of computers in music.

On coming friday (may, 13th), my piece “Im vorderen Zimmer des hinteren Raums” will be performed at Tsonami 2011 in Buenos Aires. The festival will take six days and starts on thursday. Beside the concert-activities, there will be a lot of other performances, installations and lectures to the topic of sonic art.

Anyone in and around Buenos Aires should not miss that!

Yestersday was the first rehearsal of my new piece “Ist Niemals Jetzt” for Live-Video, two voices and electronics. It went very well, which at least was a result of a brilliant chemistry between composer and singers.

The premiere of this piece will be on june, 24th in the Brick-5 in Vienna. Hope to see you there!!
