"This cello programme especially developed for 'Salon Bruit', works with the instrument as sound box, with the potential of its inner space, with the tonal multitude of feedbacks and also with the underlying danger of uncontrolled outbursts. The cello as an instrument is not only connected with a clearly defined musical genre but beyond that, with a clearly defined expectation towards its sound - but it can do differently. Unpredictability is not turned into a principle but welcome - tonal physicality doesn't need a dominating instrumentalist. All that counts in the end - the outcome - at its best: consequence."
