  Willow tree? (2012) My first attempt with image synthesis: the starting point was next door the little willow tree in my parents garden. I took photographs of it and selected three different percpectives as the generic source for this music. As instrument I utilized glass samples. Then I figured that a fragmented voice on top could be a nice complementation. angle 1 (demo)	12’

  eagle prayer (2014) A little piano piece inspired by the call of the african fish eagle, which I heard many times during my stay in the namibian wildnis. Mainly because of the applied minimalistic pemutation techniques (rhythmically and harmonically) I called it "eagle prayer".	4’

  Another look at tintinnabuli (2020) This is a very special piece for me. Not in instrumentation (piano), but in its composition technique. My working title is „Another look at tintinnabuli“. And as the title already indicates, I basically adopted Pärt’s tintinnabuli principle, which is a combination of melodic voice and triadic voice. However, my triadic voice is different from Pärt’s; the intervals of the triad grow gradually larger towards the middle of the piece and then smaller towards the end (so not only thirds as with a normal triad). This new triad voice alternates between being on top of the melodic voice as well as being below it.What also distinguishes this work from Pärt is the rather Feldmanesque chord progression in the middle and end sections of the piece.	7’
