Cat O' Nine Tails (1988) • duration:14' |
|
Eluding classification to this day, this genre
jumper is a favorite of quartets the world over. Filled with plenty
of drama, humor and musical games, this piece is lot of fun both to play and to listen to, Tex Avery meets the Marquis de Sade. |

An arrangement for string quartet of a piece originally written for the Masada songbook. My most traditional work

Memento Mori (1992) • duration:27' |
|
An intensely personal, emotional and complexly hermetic work that relates more to Harry Smith's film Heaven and Earth Magic than to any previous musical models. A trip through another dimension, featuring coded messages and fleeting references to Berg's Lyric Suite. |

The Dead Man (1990) • duration:20' |
|
Screams, scrapes, scratches and howls in the night. These thirteen short movements, inspired by the book of the same name by French philosopher Georges Bataille, contain perhaps the most overt
S/M subtexts in all of my work. |
