- Work Description -
 
The aesthetic starting point of this piece - A Prayer´s Labyrinth - is an attempt to break in compositional terms 
the common linear listening experience by e.g introducing gradually abrupt major jumps within the instrument range. 

The piece opens with a single note which slowly advances gradually in form of small changes into almost uncontrollable 
gestures. These gestures are created by adding - as former mentioned - major jumps which tends to paradoxical break up 
the piece linear development. The events are mainly notable towards the end of the piece, where the performer is pushed 
to the limits of what is physically possible. The music follows up by a memorandum section which reminds us of the past 
but now in a rather questioning mode which finally capitulates in a unavoidable melancholic song-like pray: a further 
reminder of the memories of the lost victims by the catastrophes caused by the present global climate changes and of our 
unbalanced immutable life situation on earth.
