Drums : percussion : piano : records : ableton live : modulär synf

House, techno, downtempo, ambient, experimental, whatever stirs my soul or shakes my arse. 

... A musician for many years with a background of jazz drums, percussion and piano, Pumpernickle is now devotedly hurtling through space and time pursuing electronic music production and spinning tunes. Since 2012 the dj persona has had the primary focus, attaining a successful run through some of Australia’s major festivals, regular visits to the Melbourne club scene and an invitation to residency in Turkey’s 2016 summer (of course I went.. right in the middle of 2016's military coup... what a trip that was...). With a diverse musical palette, ranging from Ambient/experimental, World/Jazz, through Electronica, House, downtempo and main room Techno, Pumpernickle is becoming known as an intelligent and creative voice in the Australian electronic music scene. 
2017 and beyond sees his focus being channelled into studio production… great times of experimentation lie ahead bridging modular synthesis, live drums, techno, ambient, electronica, visions of a live solo show emerging… dreams of creating a 40ft school bus/motorhome/music studio and returning to Europe… Above all else, following a unifying desire to live this short life fully; engulfed by passion and purpose, exploring the fields of consciousness and human potential and just hopefully… helping others and making the world a better place at the same time… 

Be the change you want to see in the world <3
