Theremin ~ Modular synthesizer ~ Haken Continuum ~ Crazy stuff…
I am very excited to have been invited to present a lecture / play a solo set at Goethe-Institut China in Beijing on Tuesday, October 27, 2026 at 16:00 / 4pm.

Goethe-Institut China is located at Originality Square, 798 Art Zone, No. 2 Jiuxianqiao Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100015.
I will be talking about the conflict between the New German School, represented by Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner vs. the conservatives: Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms.
Then it is on to the discoveries of Hermann von Helmholtz and important developments by German inventors, magnetic tape, the Trautonium, ribbon controllers and Eurorack.
How do we get from Stockhausen’s Intuitive Music to Echtzeitmusik, and from there on to German Electromantics…
In the live set I will be talking about and performing on the Haken Audio Continuum Fingerboard as well as Theremin plus modular synth, Landscape Stereo Field and STEIM Cracklebox.

Sadly the sponsorship of the Chinese University of Communication was withdrawn, but fear not, I will be coming to China anyway ✊
***** CANCELLED *****
You are guessing correctly 😉 After a long hiatus I am very excited to have been invited to lecture in China again, and this time also officially perform – in a duo with prof. Agnes Miaotong Yuan.

***** CANCELLED *****
The performance and lecture will take place at the Beijing campus of the Communication University of China.

There are more exciting concerts and releases coming up before then but this is something to look forward to already 🙂
Here is the soundcheck and concert from the second concert of this series in 2026 with Peer Schlechta and myself…

For last July’s concert with LufftStrom I traveled with a larger than usual assortment: Moog Claravox Theremin, Eurorack modular «Symphonic» skiff, SOMA Pipe and Flux. Plus recording gear (including two audio interfaces connected via Cat-6) I ended up with with approximately 75kg.


Michael von Hintzenstern gave me a lift from Weimar to Apolda. We also packed two large Mackie speakers from the store of EFIM.

Unpacking, setup and soundcheck took a few hours.

What a fantastic location!



The audio release is scheduled for March 23, synchronised with the unabridged video recording.

After the release of Dialog with Inner Voices, my long form solo from Konstanz the next release will be a selection of tracks recorded with HaLeSi: Orion.
Next in line is a duo with Peer Schlechta in Kassel on April 24 and the Urschrei concert with Frauke Aulbert and Kerstin Petersen on May 31. I will be performing with Kerstin as our duo TheOrg as well as solo.
Stay tuned for more 🙂

Check out the music here 🤗

I had a wonderful time playing with the inspired organist Françoise Matile in Basel …

… and doing a 45min solo set in Konstanz. Admittedly I did reach the limit of what I am able to transport by train, which will be something to consider for future gigs, but having this palette of expressiveness at my disposal makes me forget the hassle of “the Schlepp.”
