music

His music deals primarily with the question of the relationship between construction and intuition in the compositional decision-making process; there are conceptual parallels to surrealism and the écriture automatique of French literature ( André Breton etc.). For his compositional work, current events and references are also an important component in dealing with music, people and society. He writes works for a wide variety of occupations, also repeatedly using electronic and multi-media means.
