Noble earths are needed to fulfil humanity’s wish for digitization and technological progress. That is indeed ironic since in order to construct a world only using digits it still needs nature’s rarest elements. Therefore it must be questioned how much the digital dream is worth in the end. I wanted to convert this question into electronic music that consists of primal elements of rhythm and sound to celebrate rudimentary things that let us feel and dance – powerful elements of the past to guide us into the future.

Artefakt is a profound trip into the realm of digital analysis and corruption. Eight tracks take you deep into the rabbit hole of cybernetics. All pieces were performed using a hybrid modular system to create a sonic world of data being written and modified over and over again.

What is outside? Is it what appears to the eye, or might there be something hidden? Could it be there is not only particles surrounding you? Could it be there is actually a whole world of other creatures and places just at the same spot you are standing right now? No. This can’t be. Can it?

End of Cycle is a bold approach fusing rich synth textures with heavy weight percussive elements. Each and every sound was created by hand within a complex analog modular setup and all patterns were programmed and performed with a hardware sequencer – all done with love and passion for sophisticated contemporary electronic music.

Intertwined paths leading to nowhere. Doors behind doors. A conceptual paradoxon. Everything is correct when incorrect. Ultraform is a hybrid analog digital cortex contriving the wildest dreams. Everything is connected to everything. Literally. Each piece was performed and recorded in one take.

Ultraform contains 11 tracks.

This is a live improvisation I have performed for the closing event of Group V's exhibition at the defiled church in Hausen. The exhibition was about AI in contemporary art. Therefore I used my hybrid modular system to create a vibrant sound design focussed on pure analog signals colliding with digital signals. I wanted to force both sonic worlds to compete against each other, fighting about the dominance who is controlling whom.

The ICO Obernburg is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Therefore a lot of great artists were showing photos, sculptures, paintings. But there was music too and so I had the chance to create half an installation and half a performance the whole day long in a beautiful old working space. I was deeply focussing on working with the ambience of the room itself but also with the visitors coming and leaving. There are 17 takes I have recorded to show how my work has evolved over time.

In times where information is more valuable than gold it is the word ‘security’ that is used more often than any other key word in modern society. Security sounds good to citizens and so they might feel safer when the word is used as much as possible. But safety and security do not mean the same thing. In order to sell security there must be a specific amount of insecurity and there is nothing more insecure than a human mind.
‘Supervision’ describes the permanent surveillance of human beings by taking advantage of today’s technologies. It aims to convey the feeling of every step being recorded and analyzed by unknown individuals and analytical programs. Straight rhythmical structures combined with modulated noises, radio voices and cold endless reverbs create an irresistible hypnotic and paranoid sound. It is the simplicity of elements that make ‘Supervision’ a spectacular and incomparable album.

A self patch with my modular system about a mental disorder, where a person pretends to have a sickness to draw attention to themselves.

Halbautomatik – semi-automated human failures. All patches were created with primitive logic and strictly limited configuration options. Neither sequencer nor prebuilt drums and voices were used. All tracks were performed and recorded in one-shot sessions to keep it a raw and unique listening experience far beyond nowadays conformist music architecture.

„Mikrodynamik“ is a term you’ll find in the field of audio but also in science. In this case it stands for a hypothetical connection between audio signals and botany. Current findings in the field of botany indicate that plants actually have a nervous system allowing them to grow as they want, communicate and most likely feel. 
“Mikrodynamik” consists of four tracks that have a deep focus on the behavior of plants. Therefore every sound, every tone, noise and rhythmical structure is moving and evolving within organic patterns. Personally I believe that working with a modular system is like finding your own roots and lets yourself grow according to your personality. There is some kind of deep understanding for what nature is that we all have in common – humans, animals and plants.
"Mikrodynamik" will be released on April 6th.
