About Me
Greetings visitor!
Send me a message if you want a reply of any kind.
English and German works fine with me.
Due to time concerns, I frequently just hit approve
with people I do not know personally, and do not necessarily
always react directly to adds. Just so you know!

The music on the player above:
DB and Powerjam were recorded live and direct to two mics at
Ben's Jam Nov 1st 07, Christian Spohn on bass and Steffen Stütz ..s.
These two cuts were deliberately extracted "as is" from the first set, a
continuous jam of 62 minutes lengh. No fx, cuts or eq at all.
Ben's Jam Impro 1 and 2 were (leisurely) recorded on July 5 at the bett-club.de.
No 1 is a 4min cut from a 30min piece of just going for it. Like we do.
No 2 is a 30 min jam piece morphed into one 17 min piece by two fades/cuts.
Claus Kiesselbach, MalletKat, Christian Spohn, bass 'n fx, acoustic drums only.
Philling Space Project was recorded live Dec 04 with
Janek Gwizdala on bass, Audun Waage, tpt, and Franco Piccino, keys.

Apart from recording and performing with diverse projects,
I am currently working with amazing bass players to form the tightest sections
- in the literal sense. Powerful, subtle, intricate, energetic, sonically fine tuned.
And we are already out there, backing some fine performers.
Dream come true.
DJ's who feel like adding sick acoustic/electronic drums to a show, drop in!
I am searching for like minds, like vibe, like music.
Oh, me?
Entered the planet via Frankfurt, Germany.
Fell in love with drums early and just started to play.
Shifted gear into studying music officially.
Graduated on scholarship from Berklee College of Music.
