Coming from the jazz scene as a percussionist and drummer, his musical path increasingly developed in the direction of experimental and concept-related improvisational music. Today the focus of his work is in the field of sound and noise art. The unconventional handling of his instruments and sound bodies expand traditional sound ideas and thus create new musical listening experiences.

Experimenting and looking for interesting sounds, noises and forms of play are a focus of my musical work. Through the preparation of the instruments and the resulting way of playing, new, unusual sound spaces are possible.

Contour: Contours become acoustic figures on the way to structure, to form.

Structure: Form and structure result from selection and delimitation.

System: A piece of sound plays itself. If systems solidify over time, missing links arise. They come into conflict with the flow of changing time. Audio pictures with machine games.

Decay: In listening-parcours, solid forms soften. A sound world becomes brittle, changes, rears up, breaks down, dissolves into silence and thus offers a chance for new contours.
