In der Ara der grossen Schlagzeugbesetzungen habe ich fur kleine Besetzungen geschrieben. Dies gilt jetzt als zukunftsweisend. Pothos ist also gegen den gegenwartigen Besetzungstrend geschrieben. Ich bin trotzdem froh es war eine neue Erfahrung fur mich. Allerdings nicht zu Anfang. Die Instrumente in meinem Arbeitszimmer zeigten sich stur, unnahbar und dickkopfig. Sie stellten sich taub gegen musikalische Klangstrukturierungen. Klangfamilien, hoch / mittel / tief, Farbraffinessen etc., waren schale Abfallprodukte einer Instrumentenwelt, die voller Verachtung auf Grenzuberschreitungen blickte. Erst als ich die Vorstellung einer riesigen Bibliothek hatte, in der alle Tone, Klange und Gerausche feinsauberlich eingeordnet waren und diese Klange begannen, ihre Grenzen zu zersetzen und miteinander wechselzuwirken, eroffnete sich mir eine neue Kategorie des Zusammenhangens und -wirkens: nicht ein Strukturgedanke, sondern die Sehnsucht. Die Sehnsucht eines Klanges zum nachsten, die auch bestimmt, wie dieser Klang zu sein hat. Der Komponist, der Interpret, der Horer ein Medium furs Dazwischen. Sehnsucht hat Charakter, zeigt Vernunft, drangt auch zur Materialisierung. Im Kratylos schreibt Platon von Pothos als einer bestimmten Art von Sehnsucht, die nach etwas anderswo Seiendem und Abwesendem (neben den anderen Arten von Eros und Himeros). Es ist nicht naheliegend, wie der Klang, der vom Instrument kommt, aber zu blosser schwingender Luft sich verwandelt, verraumlicht. Pothos, Himeros und Eros galten auch als Sohne des Zephiros, des Westwindes, des Windes aus dem Dunkel, wo die Sonne untergeht. Das ist fur mich eine schone Horhaltung, die auch Sehnsuchtsgemeinschaften geniessen kann, z. B. das Durchmesseraustasten von Anschlagen, instrumentenubergreifendes Spielen mit einer Hand, das Anschlagen von Instrumenten mit einem anderen Instrument und am Schluss das eigenartige Anblasen des japanischen Popen, das auf einem Bild Utamaros im Mund einer Dame zu sehen ist (ca. 1792), ein Glasspielzeug. Wenn Sie sich beim Horen im Suden sitzend und nach Norden auf die Buhne schauend vorstellen, dann hat auch die Instrumentenaufstellung in einer Art Spirale, von Ost nach West verlaufend, den notigen fliessenden Ausdruck von Pothos, nach dem anderswo Seienden oder Abwesenden.

This piano work, composed on the occasion of Pierre Boulez’s ninetieth birthday, refers in its title to American artist Barnett Newman, who numbers among the twentieth-century abstract expressionists.In his famous essay “The Sublime is Now,†Newman wrote in 1947:“The image we produce is the self-evident one of revelation, real and concrete, that can be understood by anyone who will look at it without the nostalgic glasses of history.â€This music turns out to be an emphatic experience as soon as one makes the attempt to forget one’s playing and listening experience and personal conditioning, as far as that is possible.

How often has something been justified by, declared to be, or blessed as “in the name of†some cause or other? How can it be that opposing armies and the use of weapons are ever “in the name ofâ€...? This is a common thread in the history of different faiths. Good was created but evil was committed and all “in the name of...†This thread is also found in the history of the Premonstratensian Abbey at Wadgassen. The abbey was built in the 12th century on unfertile, desolate moorland, which later evolved into the most powerful religious community in the Saarland. The history of the abbey records quite astounding achievements under the motto desertum florebit quasi lilium (“the desert will bloom like a lilyâ€); but also the harsh treatment of delinquents. The order had its own school, in which children were taught the seven liberal arts (which included music as well as geography and astronomy), but the poor were left to starve outside the abbey walls and were only allowed to eat from the members' on feast days. The medieval witch trials demanded their pound of flesh, and one group that fell victim were ecstatic dancers who moved wildly to music--which was interpreted as the devil's work. The result: a show trial that sentenced the dancers to death by fire. All in the name of... The year is 1789: Abbot Bordier is in the tenth year of his command. He does not yet know that he is to be the last abbot of an almost 700-year-tradition. Not far from the abbey is the French border, which has long been making itself felt with the sound of gunfire, and the brothers continue to keep a nervous eye on it. The first portents of the French Revolution loom, but no one wants to believe it--that is, until the French pound the door down, storm the abbey and come right into the brothers' chambers. In a blind fury, all the pipes of the abbey organ are torn out, icons beheaded with swords and brothers beaten death while numerous buildings are set on fire. The abbey church is in flames. A frantic and desperate escape begins. Abbot Bordier and a handful of brothers make their getaway via the River Saar, adjacent to the abbey, to the neighbouring village of Bous. They survive, but their life--the Premonstratensian abbey--is destroyed. While they flee towards Prague and the sanctuary of the Strahov Monastery, the abbey at Wadgassen is razed to the ground and becomes a stone quarry. The desert blooms once more, however. A few short decades later, a glasswork arises from the foundations of the abbey. As peace returns to the region, it brings jobs and a new vision for its people.
