With his multilayered, poetic work – full of consistent and radical austerity and yet provocative humour – the composer Hermann Markus Preßl continues to influence the following generation of musicians, especially those of the Graz music scene, even 30 years after his death. Like few others, Preßl managed to put death at the center of his work addressing it with such lightness and directness while never slipping into the pathetic. By including mystical concepts such as the "holy nothing", Preßl’s work offers a multifaceted projection surface.
