‘72 Angels is a large-scale work for mixed choir and saxophone quartet. It is structured as seventytwo prelude-evocations and an epilogue. Each prelude sets to music one of the seventy- two names derived from an esoteric interpretation of Exodus 14:19-21. Angelic beings, spiritual guides, higher energies or messengers are a common theme throughout many belief systems in human history. My intention in 72 Angels was to focus on what the religious, spiritual, esoteric and mythological traditions of different cultures have in common. I would like to focus on what unites us through shared connections.

"Dear Frankie" is a heartwarming and often humorous tale of nine year old Frankie (Jack Mcelhone) and his mom, Lizzie (Emily Mortimer), who have been on the move ever since he can remember. To protect her son from the truth, Lizzie has invented a story to satisfy Frankie's curiosity. She regularly writes Frankie a letter from his make- believe father who works aboard a ship traveling to exotic lands. However, Lizzie soon finds out his 'father's' ship will be arriving in a few days. Now, Lizzie must choose between telling Frankie the truth and hatching a desperate plan to find the perfect stranger to play the perfect father.

The electronic post-rock formation Picture Palace music, after its foundation in 2003, first devoted itself to the contemporary setting of the classical silent films with the sound possibilities of today's time. The ensemble of great, emotional melodies, guitar-laden soundscapes and noise elements developed the Berliners quickly into a live set and their film-independent studio albums "Natatorium" (2009), "Midsummer" (2010) and "Indulge the Passion" ( 2012), with which they have caused a sensation for several years. Thus, Picture Palace music won the Schallwelle Award for electronic music four times and in 2010 and 2012 headlined the renowned E-Live festival in Oirschot in the Netherlands.
