Klangforum Wien

For many years now I am fortunate to regularly perform with the Klangfroum Wien Ensemble which is one of the main anchors of the European “Contemporary Music” scene. Whether by presenting 20th & 21st century repertoire or simply in being the creative force behind the commissioning and performance of numerous new works this group is directly impacting the presence and future of New Art Music canon.

ORCHESTRAL

Working in an orchestral environment is one of the most intriguing artistic challenges in performing New Art Music repertoire with an electric instrument. Surrounded by a mass of acoustic instruments generating a wide geography of sound, the obstacle of fusing the electric guitar without taking the role of the “exotic” instrument (or just being the “loud” rocker) is one of my main interests in such setting. Whether being a soloist (Concerto context) or just part of the orchestra my continuous aim then is to shape a texture and sound world that fuses the guitar in the most natural manner while still maintaining its character and capabilities.
