中传视界·国际名师领航工坊

Sadly the sponsorship of the Chinese University of Communication was withdrawn, but fear not, I will be coming to China anyway ✊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.

Soundin’ China 2026 – Vibe of the world

***** CANCELLED *****

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

Acoustic Horizon – Violin and live electronics

There are more exciting concerts and releases coming up before then but this is something to look forward to already 🙂

Apolda – Apolda!

Single uncoupling from the integral recording

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.

This is a lot already,…
But here is some more above 😅

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.

Getting started with releases and concerts in 2026

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.

From 03/04-15 a track is released daily at 22:00 / 10 PM CET

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 🙂

Basel & Konstanz

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.”

Thinking about listening within…

Entering into a dialog with my inner voices.

Where and what is my very own music?

For most of us the world is a noisy affair. We are surrounded by sounds, incidental and intentional, enveloped in music of all sorts, music we selected and spaces we visit that subject us to their choices.

If we want to find the music within we have to quiet all that and listen, deeply listen, and trust in what we discover.

The majority of my musical collaborations take place in duo constellations. Sometimes there are two partners but rarely more–or less. I am always looking to establish a dialog.

In the case of this evening (12/07, 2025 in Konstanz) it is a dialog with my instruments and the echoes of sounds within myself.

Regarding the sonic content there will be traditional intervals and microtonality, melodies and drones, tones and grains. Some of it I can control, some of it suggests creative options.

“Dialog with inner voices” is a shared listening experience. I bring six of my favorite instruments, envelop my listeners in a multipatterned weave of sounds and see where we drift.
