'The main language of a musician is his art - the music, cello music in my case. The reason I am conducting research is that I am trying to find a narrative language I can translate the thoughts into that occur while making music, during the process of thinking in sound. This is a very difficult task in the sense that we need to say something about the unsayable - but that's the challenge. The development of new musical structures and concepts and new modes of playing an instrument has always been a topic of discussion and controversy. In among the intellectual formalistic and more intuitive experimental compositional practices in late 20th-century music, the emergence of 'complex music' represents a significant development. As practice-based research, my study aim is to formulate a clarification of the concepts and phenomena of complex music and its consequences towards a Performance Practice.'
