Turbulent and wild..... but a creative summer 2017
During my intense work with Chinese language, culture and history while composing the MARCO POLO opera, some very personal insights also happened. For example, the Chinese proverb: "If the roots are deep, the wind is not to be feared". In fact, even impossible things can be accomplished if everything is deeply rooted in one's own will and nature. -
April, May, June....musical diversity
Is it actually possible to beat the turbulent combination of composing for concert halls / movies, producing CDs (6 new CDs in 2015 alone), writing essays, traveling, and working in cultural-political jobs at the German Composer Association (DKV), at the GEMA, at ProKlassik, and at the German Music Council? Yes ... it can be beat ... things are getting wilder ... even though I have just turned 65! -
2015 IS FINALIZED..... COMPOSING, RECORDINGS & CONCERTS NONSTOP
The final months of 2015 were also fully characterized by 'music', world premieres, new CD releases und endless pages of score compositions: the squirrel I see at my garden window each morning goes nuts for nuts, I go nuts for new compositions!
