'Seven Disobediences is my answer to the tradition of character pieces for piano, such as Debussy's Preludes and Grieg's Lyric Pieces; short, relatively simple but concise miniatures with a motto, and usually with one prevalent sentiment - like a musical short story. The title of each of the seven pieces is an imperative consisting of four letters: Seek! Push! Lean! etc.' - Rolf Wallin
'Parthenon, or the construction of beauty. In my work as a composer, the two main infuences were the Greek and the Japanese tradition of art and thought. Both traditions found ways of representing their world views in great pieces of architecture. Architecture mirrors a world view. parthenon. is reflecting basic assumptions of Greek aesthetics. parthenon. is something like a photographic negative of the Greek structure: In the Greek frieze, marble is used to represent ever-changing life; my piece uses the most ephemeral material - sound - to represent architecture.' - Klaus Lang
'One of the highlights of my compositional activity at the beginning of the 21st century was my collaboration with Cikada and Christian Eggen, which culminated in several runs of performances, and a CD recording, of the extended composition DARK MATTER, a collaboration also with installation artist Per Inge Bjorlo and the Elision Ensemble from Australia. The three pieces recorded here were written for Cikada and performed several times as a "triptych". The performance at Huddersfeld was particularly memorable.' - Richard Barrett
