My entry for the Zenith Festival Composers Competition was awarded the first prize!

It is a piece for piano quintet and it is titled "am Rande". The objective of the competition was to make a cross-over between pop, rock or jazz and contemporary music. So I took the song "On the edge" which I have written some years ago for a heavy metal band I played in and arranged it. In the first half the piano takes on the role of the drums and the strings of the guitars, but around the break is turns more avant-gardish.

The piece will be played at the final day of the festival, which is may 16th.
