After more than a year of painstaking work, Madness Machines, a wild 25 minute trip for orchestra and electronics was finally premiered at the Donaueschinger Musiktage, on October 16th 2026. The brilliant SWR Symfonieorchester was conducted by the equally brilliant Brad Lubman, and the sound projection was done by the fantastic Daniel Miska and SWR Experimentalstudio. The entire process was an absolute dream, from the first conversations with festival director Lydia Rilling, the developing and recording of the sounds for the electronics at the SWR Experimentalstudio, composing the soundtrack and the score, to the final rehearsals with the orchestra and the constant feedback via the exquisite radio recordings made by Gabriele Starke and her team. 

The premiere recording can be found on the link below ("MORE"), with my work starting at 21:43.

The next live-performance will be in October 2027 at the Warsaw Autumn festival, who co-commissioned the work.
