About Me


Jo, born in 1979, works primarely as a Social Psychologist at Goethe University Frankfurt (M.). He started playing the guitar at the age of 10 in Berlin - the wall had just come down. As an independent artist he participated in the "5. Ensemble Modern Young Composers Meeting" (in collaboration with Gesellschaft für Neue Musik and Siemens) in 2000 and afterwards released music via creative commons/netdistribution with interested listeners in Japan, USA (via disquiet), Sweden, Portugal and Lithuania. You can still hear some of these pieces in here. Now he is the guitarist of Frankfurt based Groove Collective "Flowarea".
