Stilbeschreibung

Important for my work is the contrast of clear sound gesture and organized structure. On the one hand this leads to the training of purely graphic structures, especially in my recent vocal works on own texts, on the other hand to the increasing density of structures in the instrumental music.

Wolfgang Niessner, 1994
