Thomas Albert

Early works include A Maze (With Grace) (1975, after "Amazing Grace") and Devil’s Rain (1977) both of which were recorded by the ensemble Relâche for Mode Records.

Since the mid-1990s his works have been mostly composed for the combination of instruments known as the "Pierrot sextet" (after Arnold Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire: flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano, with percussion instead of Schoenberg's singer), and have explored the application of the Fibonacci series (a numerical series in which each number is the sum of the previous two numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233…) to musical structures.
