About Me


the berlin-based clarinettist and composer/performer focuses on a subtle musicality of sound and noise phenomena. his music is rooted in abstractness, including increasingly an insidious expressivity and a pre-melodic quality. he works on the borderline of composition and improvisation, with a preference for long-term collaborations.
his current projects are  LOS GLISSANDINOS with klaus filip (cd: stand clear, creative sources 2005), THE INTERNATIONAL NOTHING - clarinet duo with michael thieke (cd: mainstream, ftarri 2006), THE MAGIC I.D. (song project with christof kurzmann, michael thieke & margareth kammerer),  KOMMANDO RAUMSCHIFF ZITRONE with christof kurzmann (cd: first time ever i saw your face, quincunx 2006), HERE COMES THE SUN! with gunter schneider & barbara romen, duo with burkhard stangl , duo with bernhard gal (cd: going round in serpentines, charhizma 2005), REBECCA with michael renkel (cd: rebecca [two variations], charhizma 2003), etc.
he performed his music in a, bel, ch, d, dk, fr, nl, pol, rus, slo, sp, uk und usa, incl. amplify (berlin 2004), donaueschinger musiktage (donaueschingen 2007), erstquake (new york 2006), garage festival (stralsund 2002), klangwerkstatt (berlin 2004), konfrontationen (nickelsdorf 2004), liebesliederwettbewerb (berlin 2004), music lovers' field companion (newcastle 2007), music unlimited (wels 2006), musikprotokoll (graz 2005), neia musik (mulhouse 2007), nits d aielo i art (aielo de malferit 2006), renaissance society (chicago 2006), sammlung essl (klosterneuburg 2005), tonart (bern 2005), turning sounds (warsaw 2005), uchiage!
