these are some samples of my songs-I write a lot of different kinds of music, some for performances of dance and theatre, etc... these are some simple demos and collaborations, very low tech ( on a lot of tracks me playing all the instruments badly;-)i am mainly a vocalist and composer and i put these things on the page to have some feedack, expose what i am doing, and for networking....feel free to send or leave a comment or help me get some production :-)
I'd like to meet:
BLUEPRINT- is a game for 7 players, 6 performers and a DJ and light mixer
It was created by David Hernandez and his team in 2001, toured over that year and was named one of the top ten best performances of the year by De Standaard in Belgium
It is an example of a kind of composing of game structures that is prevalent in many of Hernandez's work which has acquired the tag "elastic choreography"- not improvisation but somehow set and free at the same time. rules built into the structure for players to make choices that affect the outcome.

The images pictured here are from two projects I did in collaboration with labor Gras from Berlin. Two of my closest friends run this company and lance many interesting projects including running an independant dance and performance studio in Kreuzberg Berlin.
The two projects pictured here are I, Myself & Me Again (created last year and touring now) and Melting Point (2002)I Myself and Me Again uses real time image sampling to create a show based on three solos of spontaneous composition where each soloist creates and performs with clones of him or herself to live soundinteraction by Ralf Kraus, Real time editing improvisation by Arthur StaldiMelting Point was a project with also in collaboration with several other artists in which dancers locked in seperate spaces 6hours a day for 6 days consecutively and constantly in the state of creating and being filmed creating. In addition to this the inhabitants of these seperate spaces are merged into one space through internet and on site technology. They perform for several audiences both real and virtual including the live visitors to the site and the virtual online audiences as well as a small television audience that can view these sessions in the late night on a local berlin cable station
