The Day The Black Man Died

Sound is a thing that infiltrates your spirit. Evolution of feelings, stimulation of creativity. Relaxation, comfort on the one side, discomfort and disorientation on the other. With a great range of sounds and different instruments I am always seeking for some ambiance and finds always the spheres that fit into my mood at that moment. From full throttle noises via weird rhythms to minimal soundlayers. Always keep on dreaming.

Every performance is different. Only vocals, guitar, bassguitar, synths, acoustic things, mechanical things or some combination of that. Dreamy light, inconvenient dark, drony, cinematic or harsh, structured or non-structured. No plans, just live the moment. Beside soloperformances I also perform (on guitar or bass) with 4daLadiez, a fiveheaded impro-boy-noiseband. Sometimes also kicking ass under my alter ego Puke Brigade.
- Open for live performances. Anyplace, anytime (Intimitate guitarsoundscapes in small setting to over the top experiments on the street)
