Orcus, presented by the composer in a version for contraforte as well, is a virtuoso solo which gives the instrument the character of a 'bass nightingale'. Mockery and humour, however, are disregarded. This composition rather is a piece of archaic language-like character. Lamenting vocal tones are crossed dramatically by staccatos.

An alternating stream of thoughts for bass clarinet - free and restless, tender and brutal, angry, singing. This short solo piece, like an exclamation mark, is given by the interpreter * in space to struggle to shake off conventions, in short, to play. The composer - i.a. Professor of media composition (University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna) and visiting professor forexperimental composition (UdK Berlin) - encourages quasi-improvisation, a wild ride through emotional states and playing techniques. Caution, risk of explosion!
