dear visitor,
recently (from about summer 2022) i stopped to write down the performances i am part of.
because i am lazy and not enjoying spending my time sitting in front of the computer, i guess.
sorry for that. i hope we can still meet in real live/on stage if you want to :).
maybe i will continue again to write down the performances one day… 🙂

VULKANEIFEL, music on a film by Judith Röder. 5€, students and pupils free.
In Form und Ästhetik werde ich mich auf den Experimentalfilm „Vulkaneifel“ von Judith Röder beziehen. Die Tradition der klassischen Stummfilmvertonung weiter denkend, wird die Musik weniger eine reine Untermalung oder akustische Illustration des Filmes sein, als vielmehr eine eigenständige Interpretation von Atmosphäre, Bildkomposition und Schnitt des Filmmaterials.
Ich spiele analog auf meiner Geige, teilweise präpariert mit Naturmaterialien aus der Eifel, der beide Künstlerinnen geographisch jeweils verbunden sind.
