It is a great honor to be awarded the Ernst von Siemens Composers’ Prize 2018.
This prize enables me to take the time I need to compose, think, and make careful decisions. It releases some of the pressure this job builds, and allows me to slow down. I could not be thankful enough for being given this enormous privilege.

Huge congratulations also to my dear friend Tim Mccormack, and Oriol Saladrigues!
