The truth is that my own compositions take three times as much work and time as my arrangements: from the composition to the production of the orchestral version, the piano version, the design of the album cover and the programming of new visual effects. Since I do everything myself (which I also really enjoy), the whole process sometimes takes longer than I would like. I hope you understand that. Good news: I now have a long list of arrangements that I'd like to realize - so there's a good chance that the intervals between releases will soon be shorter again. Now to my current composition: If you read the description of my last video, you might be surprised. I had actually planned to lower the level of difficulty of my piano pieces - away from too much complexity and towards more simplicity. But that turned out to be more difficult than expected. I realized that a certain level of complexity is necessary in order to express myself musically in such a way that the result really corresponds to my musical personality. This tension between complexity and simplicity is also at the heart of my current composition: “Binary”. The title describes a duality that can be found in both technology and music. We live in a world that is increasingly characterized by technology. During the creation of my last composition, “Microchip”, I explored how humans can produce a highly complex component such as a microchip, which is found in almost every technical device, from a material as simple as sand. What I find even more fascinating is the fact that everything that happens on a computer is just a sequence of zeros and ones at the machine level. Highly complex processes are made possible by a simple sequence of on-off commands - a perfect interplay of complexity and simplicity. We also find this duality in music. Essentially, music consists of frequencies (pitch) and amplitudes (volume) that are combined and ordered in time (timbre, harmony, melody, rhythm, tempo and form). It is fascinating that a certain sequence of tones can touch us emotionally, even though physically speaking it only consists of vibrations. This interplay of simplicity and complexity mirrors the digital binary system, in which the seemingly simple states of 0 and 1 create an entire digital reality - just as a series of notes in music creates a deeply emotional experience.
