"...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..."
