Sieben Stücke für Streichquartett (2022)

The Seven Pieces for String Quartet allow the sound-temporal phenomenon to be experienced as an “eidetic reduction” (Husserl) of the most unstable, most intense, compositional interim periods. The formal design is the eidetic, phenomenological extension of this. The signature “also preserves its presence-being-present in a past now, which will remain a future now” (in “Signature, Event, Context, The Difference”) according to Jacques Derrida.

Ultimately, it is about “showing itself in itself” (in “Being and Time”) according to Martin Heidegger.

The unfolded, compositional disappearance is one of the very central categories of the Gospel and of many pericopes (such as during the Last Supper in Emmaus, Luke 24:30–31).

The Seven Pieces for String Quartet are dedicated to the Kuss Quartet.
