Quantum Psychology offers a coherent and humorous description of how our thoughts, values and behaviors have been colored by our use of language and our prevailing view of the universe. While Quantum Mechanics, relativity, non-Euclidean geometries, non-Aristotelian logic and General Semantics have revolutionized our view of the world, the habits of daily human thought still sit deeply rooted in the thought patterns and linguistic conventions of the middle ages.

Der Schuster und der Teufel. Während einiger Unterrichtsstunden entstand 1999 das erste Manuskript zur Märchenvertonung "Der Schuster und der Teufel" nach dem Text von Anton Tschechow. Die Komposition ist für Sprecher, Gitarre, Laute, Orgel und Akkordeon und erzählt die Geschichte des armen, aber schlauen Schuhmachers Fëdor Nilov, der an Heiligabend einen seltsamen Pakt mit dem Teufel schließt.
