The piano cycle "Zodiak" was composed in Cologne in January 2012, its artistic elaboration based on a projection of the zodiac signs in sound constellations. These are plucked at the beginning of every movement in the grand piano with the pedal held down: the interior of the instrument representing the cosmos – a space not created by human hand. Sitting down and playing on the keys, the pianist leaves the remote tracts of space to move in earthly human orbits. The stellar music of the grand piano unfolds into twelve character pieces composed in a wide variety of techniques and styles. The elements of Earth and Fire stand for expressiveness and individuality, while Water and Air develop formalistic similes of their zodiac signs.
