New music, new project
It’s been quite a long time, since I posted here, which doesn’t mean nothing happend in between, on the contrary! There is a lot of new music I published and there is a new project I’m engaged in. First about the new project, because it is very close to my heart. The name of the…

NOTES Vol. 1 and 2
NOTES are field recordings annotated with and sometimes transformed into music. The field recordings have been made over the last few month in two places in Vienna. One place is at home in my bedroom with the window open at night. The other place is the park nearby, also at night. These field recordings are…

Hearing the Light (EYES CLOSED)
I often think about my music in terms of translation between the senses, using the concept of experiential translation as elaborated by Ricarda Vidal and Madeleine Campbell. (https://experientialtranslation.net/) Sometimes even my artistic process is a process of experiential translation, like in this case between the eye and the ear. HEARING THE LIGHT (EYES CLOSED) is…

The Psychology of Introspection
I did some artistic research on the psychology of Introspection through sound art and music for more than a year now. The results are three pieces, two of them combining generative music, chance operations and field recordings. The third one is a composition using field recordings. The psychology of Introspection is necessarily a psychology of…

Darker Sensations
Lately I have done five new pieces of musique concrète exploring darker sensations. The creative process started with listening as always and field recording. Recordings of birds in the darker regions of the woods, of people in the lokal park at night, of myself walking around in an old church before a concert and recording…

Streetcars do dream-work (new release)
Since I have re-loacated to Vienna in September last year, I used to travel a lot across the town on trams listening to the sounds they produce as they make their ways through the city and the sounds the passengers produce on the trams or their various silences. This is often a weird experience of…

After Harnik: a compositional response
The title is deliberately worded ambiguously. On the conventional level of language, ‘After Harnik’ means inspired by a work by Elisabeth Harnik. This work is her spatial composition for choirs and instrumentalists based on texts by Heraclitus and Sappho entitled “in change is rest” (2022-2023), the performance of which at Wien Modern on November 25,…

Vienna Trilogy
The Vienna Trilogy represents the experience of a world moving towards catastrophe mixed with the experience of starting a new phase of life and moving to a city of mythologized well-being. Accordingly, the three pieces describe a journey from the cheerful feelings of arrival to the confrontation with war, war crimes and trauma while working…

Birds in glass cabinets tell their dreams of flying
Some years ago I visited the Bird Collection at the Natural History Museum Vienna, which was a surreal experience. It holds more than 130.000 objects: skins, skeletons, eggs, and tissues. More than 10.000 mounted birds form part of the systematic collection. About 25% are permanently on display in the public galleries. My immedeate reaction was…

Ausgesuchtestenohren X Eszter Ivanova
Of Moods and Beings Update: Permiere on Saturday, March 11, 2023 at 21:00 UTC+1 on YouTube: What is a crocheted bedspread? An object of daily use? A finger exercise? A recycling of wool residues? A meditation exercise? Applied arts? Art? For Eszter Ivanova, crocheting her bedspread was initially not an artistic practice, but rather an…
