The new book "Metamorphosen des Klanges. Studien zum kompositorischen Werk von Beat Furrer" by Daniel Ender is now available in stores and on amazon. 

Daniel Ender gives insight into Beat Furrer's complete Œuvre, showing tendencies and developments troughout the years and different genres. The leading idea behind Ender's research is the concept of transformation of sound and noise, of metamorphosis, which is like Ovid's "Metamorphosen" a steady source of inspiration for Beat Furrer.

Beat Furrer awarded with the Great Austrian State Prize 2014

Beat Furrer has been awarded the Great Austrian State Prize (Großer Österreichischer Staatspreis). In its announcement, the Austrian Arts Senate gave its reasons for recommending the award of the State Prize to Beat Furrer, describing his music “with its distinctive style, characterised by the human voice and the interrelation of sound, language and visual effects, using sophisticated texts. His original musical language, characterised by a wealth of sensitive and subtle differentiation matching his sensitivity, but in no way compromising on the original power of the message and its expression, has aroused interest in the music world from right the outset.”
