PEACE I-III are three songs I recorded in the winter of 2013 with my guitar, my voice and my door bell

//

Baby, keep your eyes on the street
Because if you fall asleep we all will sooner or later
I won't make this mistake
I've made it far too many time in my life, too many times

You made me give my best
And even give the rest away
But only when you lost before, you say
You will take your chance for sure

Now once and forever I've tried to make it all work out
But you have chosen to detest all the people I love
That makes it easy for me to stop knocking on wood
And split my personality into evil and good

Well, I don't know what you should have done
And I don't know where we should have gone
And I don't know who you should have killed
And I don't know why we should be thrilled
And I know it makes me confess
And I know it makes me feel less
And I hope that you will never find all those faces I hide

But still You made me give my best
And even give the rest away
But only when you lost before, you say
You will take your chance for sure

Knocking On Wood

PEACE I-III are three songs I recorded in the winter of 2013 with my guitar, my voice and my door bell

Dear deer, you almost killed me
Dear deer, you freaked me out
You made your choice and I made mine
But the brakes couldn't decide

Dear deer, you made him cry
Dear deer, you put her out for a while
It was one against four
If you had won we would have lost so much more

And I feel the machine working all around me
Hear the blood rushing in and adrenalin
But I don't close my eyes, I see the world take off
Turning upside down and landing soft

Dear deer, you fucked me up
Dear deer, you're by my side
When I sleep I hear the sound of the mountain of ice
It takes me back to where you found us

And I feel the machine working all around me
Hear the blood rushing in and adrenalin
But I don't close my eyes, I see the world take off
Turning upside down

And I feel the machine taking control over me
And I realize that I won't breathe again
Caught up in that stream, in this system of hell
So I guess this was it: The Alfa Deer Road Kill

Alfa Deer Road Kill

PEACE I-III are three songs I recorded in the winter of 2013 with my guitar, my voice and my door bell

You ban your secrets in an amber ring
You wear the tear of a tree
I'm the jeweler who sold that little thing
To me your case is very clear

As bright as lightnings shines your amber ring
You wear it since the afternoon
When the young jeweler stepped into your life
And gave his secret right to you

How can I know anything
About your amber ring
When your secrets stay secret
And I don't want to be a thief?

Amber Ring

S/A/S/A AWAKES was recorded live at LEAP Gallery Berlin on 12 February 2015

S/A/S/A is a self-built musical instrument, which was developed as part of the 3DMIN project from 2014 to 2015. It was featured at the UdK DesignTransfer exhibitions 2015/16 and was displayed at 'Good Vibrations – A History of Electronic Musical Instruments' at the Berlin Museum of Musical Instruments in 2017

//

S/A/S/A is an instrument of contrasts, establishing a dialog between analog and digital, miking and sensing, obvious and anonymous, manual and automatic, Stone Age and Space Age. Inspired by the purity and meditative atmospheres of colliding stones and water in motion, it aims to explore raw materials and stage their individual soundscapes. The instrument is based on a modular system of triangular fields and gives structure to an almost endless recombination of materials and effects, forming ever new compositions

SOUNDCHECK FOR THE CONFERENCE OF TREES BY PANTHA DU PRINCE is a short sound snippet I recorded during the preparation for the premiere of the concert series under the same name, starting at Kampnagel Hamburg in summer 2018

For this project I developed the stage design composed of different spatial elements providing a visual backdrop for the music

In collaboration with Something Fantastic

//

In his new project Conference of Trees, musician Hendrik Weber aka Pantha Du Prince explores the communication between trees. Scientists have increasingly been confirming something that countless stories across cultures have described for millennia: trees can exchange information amongst themselves, even across long distances. Weber turns this cellular 'conversation' into an artistic work that allows a sensual entry into this secretive phenomenon and combines music, visual poetry and speculative science. It also reaffirms his reputation as an extraordinary producer who, with his exceptional feeling for harmonies, manages to blend avantgarde music with electronic club sounds. In this case, the instruments were also partly made by the artist’s own hands and emerged from his intense interest in materials and a desire to determine the sound characteristics of various kinds of wood

Soundcheck for the Conference of Trees by Pantha Du Prince

CHRONOS – SPATIAL COMPOSITION FOR THE WAITING ROOMS EXHIBITION, realized in early 2019, is a site-specific sound and light installation investigating the perception of time through the human body

Located in a chamber underneath a cemetery in which dead bodies where stored and cooled until their burial, this piece is composed of two time scales rotating around each other: The heartbeat and the clock.
A mediator between the inner and the machine time, a pendulum of light is swinging from one side of the room to the other, visualizing the passing of moments during the act of waiting

//

A second. A minute. An hour. A day. A week. A month. A year. A decade. We measure our life on earth with time. We slice it, we cut it, we try to bend it, we want to keep it and we can never stop it. When we wait we look at clocks. We watch hands move and digits flip. We look at machines programmed to show us what time it is. But while we feel like humans looking at our machines we forget: We are the machines. Equipped with a powerful clockwork we produce sound every second of our life. 60 beats per minute – just as our clocks. Located in a room formerly used to store dead bodies, CHRONOS creates an empty space within time, a waiting room to contemplate, a place to take time into our own hands

'The Waiting Rooms' was an exhibition by the class of Daisuke Ishida 'Sound, Art and Technology Poiesis' at the UNI.K Studio for Sound Art and Sound Research, University of Arts Berlin
https://www.udk-berlin.de/universitaet/unik-studio-fuer-elektroakustische-komposition-klangkunst-und-klangforschung/

It took place in February 2019 at the St. Thomas Cemetery in Berlin Neukölln and was part of the CTM Festival / Transmediale of the same year
