"Zikaden" is one of eight compositions for the Zurich Baroque Orchestra, objects and live electronics as part of the project "Du matin au soir".
The compositions refer to different places of performance: the botanical garden, the swimming pool and the church, as well as to the three times of day - morning, noon and evening.
The eight pieces can be understood as "sound interventions".
They were performed between the movements of Joseph Haydn's three symphonies:
No. 6 'Le Matin', No. 7 'Le Midi' and No. 8 'Le Soir'.
