Between vital emotions such as "freedom", "longing" and being imprisoned in the constraints of reason and the hypo-rationalized world, every human being has to find his own way! This was already preoccupying me in 1984; today - almost 30 years later - this antagonism has become more important than ever: We live in a society where computers and programs are almost fascistically dominating everything! The longing for a free life and one's own vibration, instead of the "Triangle Ruler", where everything is regulated, measured, organized and planned. Freedom against total programming... OUT OF THE MATRIX!...that is the message of this piece.

Introduction: THE LONGING OF MY GEO SET SQUARE for two flutes and piano was composed in 1984 in this original instrumentation, then later as a version for 2 flutes and string quartet. The work deals with the tension between emotion & expressiveness on the one hand and calculation & construction on the other hand, which modern music is exposed to. Barking whip lashes, sober crab runnings and a Wagner quotation hidden in the piano bass "Sink down, night of love" (Tristan & Isolde) are among the irritating contrasts of this work.
