As part of their Call for Scores Fall 2017, the Youtube channel ScoreFollower has programmed the solo western guitar piece Ping Pol. It is now possible to listen to it and read along in their newly uploaded video:
The amazing Zurich ensemble Soyuz 21 will perform two solo pieces of mine on January 20, 2018 in the very special venue Photobastei. Ping Pol will be performed by the wonderful multi-guitarist Mats Scheidegger.
The no less brilliant Séverine Ballon will take on my piece Cello Solo 2 from 2012.
On December 13 my new piece Slope Motion had its premiere in Graz, Austria. Performer/composer/improviser Jonathan Heilbron played the piece for solo double bass, in a concert organised by Openmusic.

My piece “Ein Lied geht um die Welt / A Song Travels the World” has been running for a bit more than a month and is finally finished. This was the invitation video:
21 people have imitated a little melody. They recorded themselves singing it and then passed it on to the next musician.
Here is the final result, with all participants in the track description:
I am very happy to announce that I have been selected for a portrait concert in Vienna by Jeunesse and ORF. It will take place in Spring 2018 in Radiokulturhaus Vienna and is going to be recorded and broadcasted by ORF. Needless to say, I am super excited about this!
My pieces will be performed by the amazing Platypus Ensemble and I will be playing myself.
