His musical language is characterized by a high density and complexity, a tendency towards narrativity and generous, often multi-layered forms that are not immediately apparent to the listener. However, this complexity is broken up again and again by moments of the greatest simplicity, so that a broad stylistic arc spans from a bulky, atonal-noisy tonal language to expressively charged sound structures that are reminiscent of the early phase of the Second Viennese School and even the romantic emotional worlds of the 19th century Remember the century. Simon wrote vocal compositions, e.g. B. TR for three female voices and percussion, orchestral works for chamber orchestra and large orchestra, as well as a large number of chamber music works for a wide variety of instrumentations.
