== Works == Redmann composed solo works such as ''Geblendete Schatten'' for piano, ''Incontro'' for flute, ''Metro'' for viola. His chamber music include ''Goldrush – Moneyrush'', ''Verstrickung'' and ''five little obsessions''. He composed works for ensemble, such as ''Scenario'', ''evocación'', and solo concertos, a trumpet concerto, ''Secret doors'' for two bassoons and orchestra, and ''Fliehende Landschaft'' for viola and ensemble. Orchestral works include ''Fiasko'' and ''3 Pictures''. He composed ''O'' and ''L'usine imaginaire'' as "Raumkompositionen" (Space compositions) for ensemble.<ref name="MHM" />
''Fiasko'' was recorded in 1998, together with the Third Symphony of Anthony Iannaccone and the Symphony 1969 of Theldon Myers. Stephen Ellis reviewed:<blockquote>Fiasko (translated as "total freeing") is a "chain-reaction" of "energy-laden sound materials" that, as the composer has further written, "explode outward. ... The music, freed from any obligation to be orderly, flies out of control." If one comes to the music with this in mind, knowing that the composer has scored "unpredictable music for an unpredictable world," then Fiasko is fun to listen to for its textures and sonic shapes.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20121003064415/http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=70745 Iannaccone: Night Rivers; Myers, Redmann / Florencio] arkivmusic.com 1998.
