Architecture transformed into a meditative choral work
'Illuminations' is a choral work based on the architecture of the Minorite Church in Krems, and a movement based on the Ossiach Collegiate Church, both found in Austria.
Nadja Kayali, the Festival Director of 'Imago Dei' in Austria, approached me with a commission to transform the architecture into sound. As I am trained both as an architect and composer, this was a very natural process for me and I was stimulated by the request. I have always had a symbiosis of these in my mind, as I have spent years studying both simultaneously.
The album release of ‘Illuminations’ is taken from a live event in the Ossiach Collegiate Church, with the 12 voices of the Momentum Vocal Music, including the new movement based on the proportions and history of the Marian church. Simon Erasimus conducted the choir and instrumentalists including Thomas Fheodoroff (violin), Sylvie Lacroix (flute), Michael Moser (cello), Hannes Schöggl (percussion), to bring this electric work alive.
Recorded and mastered by Florian Rabl, sponsored by the ÖstMusikFonds and other partners, this work is a testament to the heritage of teamwork - music always inspires to bring us together in a very profound way. I am very thankful for this incredible release. It is available on Bandcamp now and all other digital platforms after July 21.

Composer 🎼 I’m an artist living in the beautiful country of Austria
I love to create music that is multifaceted, with polyphonic beauty and uses proportions from visual elements like renaissance architecture or ancient chakra wisdom.
My music is composed to move and touch the emotions, even if the mind can’t quite grasp its style.
Compositions like these are marvelous to hear live in a concert, to be in touch with the incredible artistry of musicians that are able to bring these works alive. All my music owes its presence to these talented people, who can bring my manuscripts, sometimes requiring much practice and patience to interpret the mystery that is not actually written on the page, but written between the notes and in the ether.
I’m glad that you share with me in the discovery of new sounds and music that is possible in this new era.
Thank you for listening and visiting my channel.
I post new videos in the evening 🙏🏻✨8pm Vienna
