My Illness Is the Medicine I Need for soprano, violin, violoncello and piano (2002)

… not simply ‘put to music’ but rather a subtle tonally suggestive approximation of internal spaces in the soul being torn open

Alfred Beaujean: Chamber Music as Powerhouse, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, July 2, 2002

His sources of inspiration are often very unusual. He was, for example, inspired to write “My Illness is the Medicine I Need” by a Benetton magazine which contained reports about psychiatric clinics. The composer and pianist Thomas Larcher turned these texts into a cycle for soprano, violin, cello and piano which did without both voyeurism and straining for effect. Individual expression is more important to this subtle music than an avant-garde compositional technique.
