You are correct, sir! It is easy to see the intense mathematical relationships, and if not precisely algebraic and clockwork, they simply 'feel' structured. The music is full of numbers, if that makes any sense to you. It is a great testament to humanity to be able to transcend mere numbers and biases and see the grand beauty of things like this. I very dearly hope that you continue making music and promoting it, and this idiom of yours, whether you choose to create tonal or post-tonal versions of it, across the world. It's easy to see in this music a transfiguration, a total snubbing of the idea that we should distinguish atonal and tonal music. As the march section of "Le carnaval romain' from Berlioz uplifts me to heights of contentment, and as the dissonances of Beethoven's Prometheus and Coriolan works plumb darkness, so to do yours.
I'm not brown nosing, though. I truly appreciate this music. I must say that I love the way you handle the brass most of all, and its resolutions; it is new to my ears. Also, "Nordreise", meaning Northern Journey, seems to fit for this music... what a coincidence! You have inspired me to go study now. Thanks!
