"Heike Fiedler's text "nano splitter gefaser" influenced me during composing, but I do not let it sound as a fluid text. Only fragments of sentences here and there will break out, but most of the time the voice will mingle with the three clarinets and produce a kind of "Drownmusic" on a low volume. The composition "because life should be so wonderful(l)" explore further the tonal and microtonal possibilities offered by three clarinets in combination with voice. The first edition of this work was with the singer Sabina Meyer and on our Japantour in October 2014 we will work with the Japanise singers Kouta Unaka, Masae Takano and Maki Hachiya."-Paed Conca
