| Comments | Ausgangspunkt der Komposition ist der Gegensatz von Ruhe und Hektik, entfaltet in Übergängen und Temposchnitten an neun Grundfiguren, die mit der Zeit auch ein reiches Eigenleben entwickeln. Der Anfangsimpetus löst auf anderen Ebenen Prozesse aus – fast wie im richtigen Leben. | ||

| Comments | The six poems in Erich Fried's cycle 'Verhaltensmuster' from the collection 'Die Beine der grösseren Lügen' on the one hand contrast each section one against the other, directly corresponding to the disciplinarian's nature. On the other it is made cohesive through signalling motifs. | ||

| Gesänge IV - 10 Poems by Kurt Marti Gesange IV - 10 Poems by Kurt Marti |
|||
| Written | 1992 | ||
| Duration | 16:00 | ||
| Comments | The poems are taken from different collections to form a cycle, the inner and outer components of which convey essentially Swiss characteristics: weighty burden, efficiency, precision as a substitute for happiness, and indifference. The Soprano's phraseology encompasses both 'speaking-song' and flamboyant melody. | ||

| Schnitt-Muster |
|||
| Written | 2002 | ||
| Duration | 7:00 | ||
| Comments | Wie beim Zappen am Fernseher folgen sich völlig unterschiedliche Musikarten mit scharfem Schnitt, scheinbar zufällig und doch absichtsvoll. Doch auch die andere Bedeutung von Schnitt-Muster, das Verfertigen nach Vorlage, das Clichéhafte, kommt zum Zuge, indem die Musikstile – von Pop bis zeitgenössische Musik - imitiert und parodiert werden. | ||

| Duration | 12:00 | ||
| Comments | An obsessive, pulsating sequence is stoped down again and again and shortened whenever some sound fields establish themselves in the interstitial. A new multifaceted music replaces the worn down rhythm. | ||

| Zwillinge |
|||
| Written | 2001 | ||
| Duration | 10:00 | ||
| Comments | Das Werk spielt Konstellationen zwischen den Instrumenten durch, in denen jeweils zwei Instrumente eng zusammengehören, quasi Zwillinge sind. Der musikalische Prozess entspringt der Dialektik zwischen diesem vorgegebenen Beziehungsnetz und dessen Realisierung durch drei fast archetypische musikalische Grundmodelle. | ||
