Month: February 2025

I am very happy to have been asked to join TonArt Hamburg e.V. as a permanent member of Hamburg’s oldest (founded 1989) free improvisers collective.

My connection with the ensemble goes back to April 2008 when I recorded “Im Schlauch”, a great performance at KuBaSta, a subterrean complex of interconnected tunnels. The great showcase for immersive audio was presented at Tonmeistertagung 2008 in Leipzig.

May 2011 I realised an Ambisonics recording of Phil Corner and TonArt at Hamburger Kunsthalle and some years later I performed with TonArt as a Thereminist on the MS Stubnitz and at Künstlerhaus FAKTOR…

Looking forward to being a regular with this wonderful group of musicians 🙂

I can’t believe I did not post about this yet, but on October 12, 2024 I scored the film “Der müde Tod” together with organist Jakob Schönborn-Dietz. It was an amazing deep dive and I am sure we’ll do this again in 2025.

Here are some photos from St. Johannes Baptist in Jena…

I had brought two Genelec 8010 monitors for stereo monitoring. We also had a subwoofer behind us plus four speakers down below for my electronics (under the gallery) and the spatial augmentation of the organ (left and right of the altar).

Jakob and I watched the movie primarily on the monitor above the keyboards of the organ.

All set for projection plus synchronized live recording in the Reaper DAW

Even though the year has only just begun, I’m already looking forward to the end 😉 On Sunday, December 7th, I’ll be playing a solo program as part of the “Out of the Ordinary” series in Constance. But there are also some live performances before that. More soon…

Auch wenn das Jahr gerade erst begonnen hat freue ich mich schon jetzt auf das Ende 😉 Am Sonntag, den 07. Dezember spiele ich im Rahmen der Reihe „Out of the Ordinary“ in Konstanz ein Solo-Programm. Aber auch vorher gibt es noch einiges an Live-Auftritten. Mehr in Kürze…
