programme note
In my almost 8 years in Japan I was very interested in placing the elements
of the music separatly in front of backgrounds, silent one ore plain one,
especially the golden one of Japanese paintings and the parts of Shô in gagaku
music. Now back in Germany I tried to do the opposite by erasing all
backgrounds, placing the elements as close as possible together and creating a
new color in my music, a strong red. After checking my most favorite titel
"RJED" (the international airport codes RJ for Japan and ED for Germany) with
an internet search engine, it convinced me by asking "Did you mean: RED".
