About Me
I am what you probably call a classical composer. Well, that's fair enough: Composing is in the heart of the things I'm doing and I'm crazy about classical music. However, that's also where the trouble begins.
The way sounds are meeting with each other in classical music create the finest musical language qualities, I'm aware of. Qualities that feed also all kinds of popular music and Jazz till our very days, many of them I'm not less attracted to.
The problem: If I try to compose this way, I’m entering occupied territories where I will have to deal with the top dogs that are keeping hold of them!
So why not to enter new sound territories that are freed from the classical fixed talking points of 3 or 4 quarter bars or their key notes DO, RE, MI, FA, SOL – the bars that probably became eventually a “golden cage”?
Now the trouble: In free sound territories, sounds often meet – just as sounds – and the real conversations fade away. So what do we land instead? Sound paintings. Beware! Nothing wrong with sound paintings!
However, you guessed it already: What keeps me awake at night is rather the question if there are new sound territories, where sounds can learn to talk to each other – again. But what are the new talking points?
