Between 2004 and 2006 ‘Cetacea’ was composed, in which sound recordings of the Sabar drums and dolphin sounds (click trains) were made. The two small compositions ‘SonarSabar 1 and 2’ were created from this abundant sound material. The pieces were commisioned by Claus Biegert of the ‘Nuclear-Free Future Award Foundation’.

My personal statement:

It is without discussion that in times of the Iraq war and climate catastrophes I am making my small composition ‘SonarSabar’ available for your project. I wrote this together with the dolphins of the Dolphinarium in Duisburg and the ensemble of Doudou N’Diaye Rose from Senegal.
Music is not just for listening, but an image of our reality. You have to make this reality sound, i.e. produce resonances that keep our blue world circle in balance.
