And a preview of coming attractions: I have the honor to be an artist-in-residence this year at the Literaturfest Kleinwalstertal in Vorarlberg. In connection with this, the Jazzorchester Vorarlberg will (finally!) be performing my large-ish piece Petit mal, developed in cooperation with the writer Carolyn Amann. Premiere on 16 June, with a second performance on 25 June in Hohenems. Watch this space for details.
