Comments	"Hör-Spiel" Texts by Sarah Kirsch, Sappho, Michel Serres, Stefan Buri, Hans Magnus Enzensberger. Commissioned by and with support of 'Pro Helvetia', (the Swiss culture foundation) for the 50th anniversary of the Zurich Chamber Voice Choir. First performed in Zurich on the 20th November 2001 by the Chamber Voice Choir Zurich, Martina Fausch, Martina Schucan, Ensemble for New Music Zurich (Bernhard Erne). A piece dealing with the proximity of music and speech, the border area between commutation and murmuring, exactly there where the word is weak and the music has already begun.

Comments	For a 'Stadelhofer' death dance. A spatially performable score based on texts by Guillaume Apollinaire about the transition from this world to the next. Speechlessness in the face of death, a dance around the grave and the crossing of the threshold.

Comments	The line skips by Sarah Kirsch turn the readers into stumblers. Stumblers have to re-read the text if they want to understand its content. They gain, thereby unexpectedly in time and fall to a deeper level.
