Animator & Illustrator Statement (Specializing in Motion Design & Visual Media)

As an animator and illustrator, I specialize in bringing bold visuals to life through motion design, cover art, animated videos, and more. My creative work spans digital storytelling—from designing high-impact thumbnails and immersive lyric videos to crafting logo animations that leave a lasting impression.

I approach every project with a blend of design intuition and animation principles. Whether it’s a dynamic cover illustration, a scroll-stopping YouTube thumbnail, or a full-length animated music video, I focus on visual rhythm, clarity, and style that connects with the audience. My process combines concept-driven design with fluid motion to create visuals that don’t just look good—they move with meaning.

I’ve worked across formats including:

Motion Design & Animated Video – clean, expressive animation that supports narrative or brand identity.

Lyric Videos – typography and motion that match the energy and emotion of the track.

Thumbnails & Cover Art – eye-catching designs optimized for digital platforms and attention.

Logo & Identity Animation – making brands memorable through smooth, impactful animation.

With every frame and every pixel, my goal is to elevate ideas into visuals that feel alive, intentional, and uniquely crafted.

Deutscher Singer-Songwriter über fünfzig Jahre alt. Seit fast vierzig Jahren schreibe und singe ich Lieder. Mein Hauptinstrument ist die akustische Gitarre, aber ich mag auch Perkussionsinstrumente (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). Ich liebe es, melancholische und poetische Balladen zu komponieren. Aber manchmal schreibe ich auch (schwarze) humorvolle Songs, Jazzstyle und -Rocksongs. Meine Hauptsprache ist Deutsch. Aber in Zukunft will ich mehr Songs auf Englisch und vereinzelt auch Französisch schreiben.
In meinen Kompositionen bin ich inspiriert von Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison und Bob Dylan. Auf meinen Platten spiele und singe ich alles alleine. Meine Vision für die Zukunft ist es, Musiker aus verschiedenen Kulturen zu finden, die gerne ihre Tracks mit mir teilen wollen.
Mein persönliches Mantra ist ein Satz, der von Paul Mccartney auf dem Beatles-Album "Abbey Road auf dem Track "In the end" vor fast Fünfzig Jahren geschrieben wurde:

Die Liebe, die Du bekommst ist gleich der Liebe, die Du gibst.

German singer-songwriter over fifty years old. For almost forty years I have been writing and singing songs. My main instrument is the acoustic guitar, but I also like percussion instruments (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). I love composing melancholic and poetic ballads. But sometimes I also write (black) humorous songs, jazz style and rock songs. My main language is German. But in the future I want to write more songs in English and occasionally also in French.
In my compositions I am inspired by Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison and Bob Dylan. On my records I play and sing all by myself. My vision for the future is to find musicians from different cultures who would like to share their tracks with me.
My personal mantra is a sentence written by Paul Mccartney on the Beatles album "Abbey Road on the track "In the end" almost fifty years ago:

The love you take is equal to the love you make.

Ich erschaffe Klangwelten, Sehr dunkele Klangwelten Gedankenwelten so wie Ambient Welten. Habe mir alles selber beigebracht. Notenlesen Hab ich nie Gelernt. Lebe in meiner Gedankenwelt. Meine Klangwelt erstelle ich nur nach Gehör. Es Freud mich wenn ihr meine Klangwelt Hört.

I’m a singer songwriter, guitarist and composer from Tokyo, Japan.
This is my second account to repost more of my favorite songs on SoundCloud with great respect, friendship and love to the amazing musicians all over the world! Listening to your songs is a big  joy for me!
Wish you all the best for 2025🌟🌟🌟

I pour my deepest emotions into every song I create. Each one reflects how I feel, what I’ve been through, and the stories that touch my heart.
I create heartfelt songs about love, heartbreak, healing, and the most personal moments in life.
My dream is to be heard, felt, and understood one song at a time.

Additionally, I am an AI music creator, and I truly appreciate this tool for giving me the chance to be heard and to create the beautiful songs I’ve always dreamed of since I was a child. Growing up, I never had the resources or support to develop my talent.

Now, through AI music, I finally have the opportunity to bring my dreams to life. I’m not trying to become a famous artist, I understand that AI music can’t replace the true talent of a person. But for me, it’s about experiencing the passion that was once neglected and expressing my emotions through song.

It honestly feels amazing, and sometimes I wish it were all real. Still, I’m deeply grateful for this chance.. Thank you, AI, for helping me find my voice.

Thank you for listening. 💖
