Kristalle und Feuer op. 5

My new music is all about expressing sensation and drama in an imaginative style, music behind the mirror, like Alice in Wonderland - daring to feel childlike, a new form of childliness, a new form of femininity and impulsiveness: free, diverse and expressive. Touch
the unembossed and let it sound. The imitation leave and end in an amen. Music that is primal in our time in the sense of wild, without being threatening, emotional. Captured volatility, on a knife edge. Fragile yet poured into notes.
Feminine expressed pain and joie de vivre and feminine being are much neglected in
so-called classical music (generally in music). It is often already defined how form, structure
and building techniques of music have to be and how it is tolerated. But it's about
depicting the complete picture and being open to new things.
