Duration: 23' 00"

for fl(afl).ob(ca).cl.bn/hn
Composed for performers of experimental music. Requires unconventional playing technique, partly on dismantled instruments.
Duration: 10' 00"

String quartet (1992/94)
Presents some huge contrasts in sound and expression, where music acts as a mediator.
Duration: 15' 00"

Schichtung (1993)
for instrumental ensemble (fl.ob.cl.bcl.bn/hn.tpt.tbn/1perc/pf/2vn.va.vc.db)
An overlapping of partly coordinated and partly independent musical progressions. The ensemble proceeds on a sound investigation, passing a variety of noises as it does so.
Duration: 14' 00"

Short Scene (1993)
for flute solo
A dialogue of varying musical characters. It is left to the fantasy of the performers to give this piece an abstract, imaginary "plot". Suitable for didactical purposes.
Duration: 3' 00"

Transitio (1994)
for orchestra (2.2.2.2/2.2.0.0/1perc/pf/8.6.4.4.3)
This is a walk through the chamber music-like sound world produced by the instruments of the orchestra within a strict continuously moving sound meshwork. The strings behave soloistic for long stretches. The conductor must have a love of detail. It served as the compulsory piece for the 1995 Besançon Conducting Competition.
Duration: 14' 00"

Interplay (1995)
for instrumental ensemble (fl(afl).bcl.hn/perc/hp/vn.va.db)
The conductor directs the core group of the ensemble (bass clarinet, percussion, harp, viola). The other instruments are cued in and have to choose short fragments from a given collection, in any order. A kaleidoscopic display of refined sounds unfolds.
Duration: 8' 00"
