“Insubordinately Sublime” -Inigo Wilkins about recent concerts
Here you find songs, sounds and radiofeatures I arrange and produce myself and some I speak and sing for. Situated between postindustrial, sonic jokes and experimental pop-punk.
***ALBUM: https://jcdecaux.bandcamp.com/album/watch-close  ***

I am an artist living and working between London and Berlin and on tour.
Studied post-dramatic theatre and theory/philosophy with a focus on soundart: at ATW Gießen at Heiner Goebbels, Felix Kubin u.o. and as a guest contemporary dance&choreography at CNSMD Lyon.
I love words and sounds, write for theater and run a theatre company putting up music performances. I work with electronic and analog sounds, homemade instruments, voice(s) and fieldrecording. I direct contemporary classical concerts, live radioplays, music for theatre and soundinstallations.
Here on soundcloud you can find some tracks, sketches and experiments.  
 enjoy listening-

When you click on the songtitles you can see more infos about the pieces.
below are links to CV etc. feel free to have a look around, see you in real life.

about the album "Watch Close":
picadilly records writes: "...sounding a little like an Eccentronic Research Council meets Raymond Scott’s Mahattan Research Inc meets Cluster, this is a collection of poetry, electronics and improvisation woven together like a tapestry and drawing you in like a tense but beautifully shot thriller. Clangers-esque theramin sine tones, ethnic percussion, multi-lingual poetry, mangled strings – a plethora of idents from an all manner of subversive stylings. This is brilliant!"

boomcat writes: "...blur the lines between poetry and tone poem, with Manchester’s answer to Peter Pan coaxing out a gauzy spectrum of eccentric small sounds, lopped beats and radiophonic quarks.."

In 2016 my work was played at Tilde Festival for soundart Melbourne, Radio NY, live concert&interview on BBC Wales, concerts at Oriel-Sycharth Wales, New River Studios London, The Others London, Sonic Arts Forum London, Radio futuresound.fm.
speaking at Focus Wales Festival // Digital Innovations Day: Panel 3: THE SPACE RACE: How embracing the digital revolution can give you the edge

Berlin indie rock band – deeply rooted in the local DIY scene and influenced by all major havens of the International Pop Underground. Tuneful melodies and cozy guitar fuzz; referential and/or poetic lyrics. Members Jonathan, Juan & Ian.

German Composer and Producer for Instrumental Music. I create Royalty Free Production Music and Stock Music for Advertising, Commercials, TV, Video and Film.

Fluid music theater project exploring non- hierarchical relationship between text, body, sound, and voice. Meaning, as well as musical structure and possible narratives, emerge in a score- based improvisational dialogue between the three core members of the group (a butoh dancer, a theatre performer, and a musician). In every performance they aim to create a space for inclusion and acceptance of their differences rather than similarities; a live act is like a journey where their three personalities play with time and space, not melting within each other, but rather opening up gaps for the audience to fill up.
