So you think that soundengineering is dominated by men? Well, right you are, I guess. Nevertheless, I too was somehow infected with this hey-I-love-a-1000-knobs-and-blinking-lights-flu a couple of years ago and actually managed to turn my hobby into my job within only a few years!But here's how it happend:It all started when I was just about 16 years old at our local venue the Gaswerk. After helping out as a stagehand a couple of times I was soon left alone behind the desk. Within a years time I was in charge of the sound-crew at the Gaswerk, working at almost all the shows myself. It was around that time that I also started to accompany bands around the country as well as taking over the stagemanagement-job at our hometown festival Musikfestwochen. In january 2004 - freshly out of highschool - i got accepted to Zepra (Zentrum für professionelle Audiotechnik) in Aarau and signed the two-year contract as Assistant Engineer at Hardstudios in Winterthur. The two years at Zepra and Hardstudios taught me a great deal. Working with people like Moritz Wetter and Ron Kurz daily, as well as assisting engineers such as Patrick Müller, Patrick Schwitter, Helge Dyk, Daniel Dettwiler and meeting engineers, musicians, producers and who-ever-else has been a huge benefit. Without them, I'd never be where I am today. While working 100% at Hardstudios, I still found time to travel from gig to gig with different bands every weekend or work at local venues such as the Gaswerk and the Salzhaus. The reward for two years of working 200% was a very successful start into my life as a freelancer. I hope to be able to continue this way for a long time and I want to thank everybody who has helped me in the past, helps and teaches me now and will be of assitance in the future. You are making it possible for me to live my dream.
