The participatory sound installation A SOFT TONGUE BREAKS THE BONE, shown at the OPENHAUS in November 2022, invited the audience to approach the Musar (a large corpus of jewish ethical texts) by commenting on it.
The track simulates a comment every 8 or 12 seconds.

A Soft Tongue Breaks The Bone

The participatory sound performance MEINUNGSORGEL feeds on discussions. Visitors were invited to send text messages to the MEINUNGSORGEL (opinion organ), thereby manipulating sound generators.
The musical discourse secretaries Boris Jöns (emcee) and Marcos Pérez (drawing) open up a co-creative space of experience in which opinions collide with music and drawings.
The comments in the display are those of the participants who made the piece what it is.

Borrowing your voice to a tree. A human voice is used as a carrier for the display of a month's worth of data (soil-moisture near a maple tree). The data alters different sonic characteristics.
Leihe einem Baum deine Stimme: Eine menschliche Stimme wird Träger der auditiven Darstellung von Daten (ein Monat Bodenfeuchtigkeit bei einem Ahorn). Die Daten beeinflussen verschiedene klangliche Charakteristika der zur Verfügung gestellten Stimme

Meinungsorgel bei der Edge Agape Session. (gekürzt)
Performance with Benjamin Staude

EdgeAgape

For "Spacecraft" a workshop format of KW Berlin, Kunstrepublik and I have arranged a guided tour to a highly financialized urban area. The song is a anthem on the splendour and the indestructible determination of the Skulpturenpark to remain a site for artistic and communal communication.

Phantom of the Skulpturenpark

For "Spacecraft" a workshop format of KW Berlin, Kunstrepublik and I have arranged a guided tour to a highly financialized urban area. The song is a portrait made off interviews with the tenants and owners of high prices condos and appartments on a former fallow land, the Skulpturenpark.
lyrics: Boris Jöns
singer : Danja Schilling

Dream in Sicherheit

With Sebastian Orlac I did a performance at Christine Heidemanns exhibition "Jagdsalon" Kunstraum Kreuzberg in Berlin in 2005.
This music is the backdrop for animal-like sounds performed live with pipes that are used to imitate hurt animals.

Part I - Ze Beauty Of Ze Nature
Part II - Im Unterholz (Underwood)
Part III - Shoot the Deer
Part III - Hasenklage (Lament of the Hare)

KM opened the 2008/2009 season of the Muenchner Kammerspiele with a budget debate and the question of how to use that evening's revenues. Five citizens discussed and decided whether the money should be used for charity, artistic projects or personal welfare. Each of the five participants made a proposal of how he/she would use the money. In the end, they had to come to a consensus on who would get what amount of the money. If they hadn‘t agreed, the money would have gone to the theatre.
