About Me

I'm a musician living in a small town in Germany. My music is mainly based on autogenerative processes, a blend of acoustic events and esotheric software treatments. I'm doing installation pieces, release and perform my music around the world. I've just finished a new studio album which should be out in 2007.

Please visit my Blog for more info, MP3s, podcasts and my other profile for a music player.

Cars, girls, good food, kids!
Finding relations between this and that.
Awkward concepts.

Music:

I love music!
(November 24. 2007)

During the next 4 weeks I will post a series of 31 recordings of some of my favourite 78RPM platters to my blog.
Gospel, early and classical music, hillbilly, jazz, jube, pre-war pop, mainly acoustic or very early electrical recordings from the late 1910s to the very early 30s, beloved music I want to share with you. The records are played back on a mechanical 1927 HMV 101 gramophone and recorded with a Schoeps microphone as is, without EQ treatments or the likes.

Each file is available for 24 hours, I hope you will enjoy the selection!

Movies:

Many of them, most of all those by Michelangelo Antonioni, Jean-Luc Godard, John Cassavetes, Paul Morrissey, Lodge Kerrigan, Jonas Mekas, early Wim Wenders, Martin Arnold, Yasujiro Ozu, Chris Marker, Francois Truffaut, Kenneth Anger, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Carl Theodor Dreyer, Dominik Graf, Takeshi Kitano, Gustav Deutsch, David Lynch, Lars von Trier,

Television:

Too much, too bad. TV is not for me (unless the Champions League is on...)

Books:

Fischli und Weiss. Sichtbare Welt ISBN 3883754331
