music
Nashashibi's compositions can be roughly classified into the areas of New Music and Connected Music.
His new music compositions often contain moments of self-organization or of one's own time, are based (like first RETE I 1997) on physical or (like first TREND 1998) on social processes or they address chamber music interplay. For this he uses microtonal modes, but also noises, language, concrete timbres and electronic feed.
Most of the pieces contain leeway for the performing musicians to make decisions. Aesthetically, this is perhaps the closest they come to the radical-constructivist theory of science.
Nashashibi's work in the field of connected music - that is, music for / with films or various theaters - manifests itself not only in versatile compositional styles, but also in extensive activity as a silent film companion.
He received prizes and awards a. a. at the International Composition Competition for Piano Music for Children in Berlin 1992 and at the Bremen Composers Competition 1998.
