About Me


With my development of the computer as a working tool I began to work with audio information besides the visual ones. The computer provides the possibility to cut up noises, sounds and music, to analyse them and work with these fragments. I am especially interested in the conditions, under which they come into being, in which context they exist and what kind of effect they have got on the audience.
My work begins with finding, searching or -should the occasion arise- producing of acoustic material. By experimenting with the material I get various fragments, which are later combined in a composition.
The composition is created in interaction with the structure of the noises and sounds. Interaction is meant as an adaptation of the composition to the structure (dynamics, timbre, pitch, tune) of the sounds and noises or the other way round the sounds are changed for compositional reasons.
In my visual work I use the same method. Mostly I work with found pictures or find them with my camera.
As a sound artist as well as a visual artist, the connection of both is obvious. It can either exist by itself or be constructed by association.
