Nomen est omen. To sum up the mystery: \u00abDer Name ist Programm\u00bb.
\u00abLizard Point\u00bb was written in 2018 for the EXPAN quartet to be performed at the EXPAN festival 2018 in Spittal an der Drau \/ Carinthia. On the one hand the piece was inspired by the structure of computer languages. Its musical form is infused with if \u2026 then conditions and do \u2026 while loops. Thus the piece will differ in its shape from performance to performance. On the other hand I included a short section where the musicians are asked to improvise\u2014for the very first time in my compositions. Perhaps I was looking for a way to combine mechanical patterns with liberalness and linked both instances with abstruse humour. At any rate, the piece is all about celebrating the principles of chamber music: playing together and reacting to whatever is happening on the stage.
Besides, Lizard Point is the most southerly point on mainland Great Britain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
