about

This is the first piece, written in 2005, I was experimenting with my new approach (read back at the beginning of MUN). This piece is really about opening up. Back then I was struggling with some personal issues. I was unsatisfied about certain things in my life. But on the other hand I noticed I was developing as a person. The title has a likewise meaning. Literally its Latin for some new discovered species back then. But for me it meant to discover something inside me that I was looking for all my life. This piece reflects that period well, in my opinion. Before I wrote this piece I’d never composed a ‘real work’. I did some piano improvisations [check out “The Phlod-Nar: The Crystalline Piano” from 2006] and wrote electronic compositions at my keyboard. But this work was the beginning of a new phase in my music, and in my life. As I listen to it now, it sounds like outbursts of melodies, finding its way through the air. It still has an open feel to it, a certain way of searching, which I like very much.
