"…There's some kind of an exploration of the beauty of nature. Even of course on a very primitive level compared to the nature itself. It's more about associations and abstraction than about rebuilding something. Maybe similar to an abstract painting of the nature. The association, the process happening in each single brain, the individual activations are somehow completing the pieces on individual levels. I try to develop very simple mechanical systems which allow or which let grow complex behavior in sound or motion. Simple mechanical elements which allow a somehow "living" behavior, generating and degenerating patterns, textures and forms. In some pieces each single element can do this on its own, in some other pieces this happens through the mass, the multiplication and the interlocking of many small sounds and
movements…"
