Wüstenvisionen, Premiere in Wien

Wüstenvisionen is a work inspired by the rich sonorities of Andean wind instruments from South America. This piece weaves together rhythmic and harmonic textures that evoke the spirit of a ritual, where cyclical patterns, microtonal clusters, and layers of sound converge. Through the blending of modern and indigenous instruments, Wüstenvisionencaptures a vivid and immersive sonic landscape, honoring the ancient traditions and natural forces that shape Andean music. The result is an atmospheric journey where repetition and resonance build a bridge between past and present, tradition and innovation.
