I am a transmedia composer and curator. At the moment, I am working with Julika Bosch on an opera project for 2027 for Wuppertal’s most beautiful swimming pool, the Schwimmoper.
In recent years, I have composed for Chorwerk Ruhr, installations by Chiharu Shiota and percussionist Vanessa Porter. I have been a guest at institutions such as the Kunstsammlung NRW, the Kunststiftung Baden-Württemberg and the Beethovenfest Bonn. As a curator I have worked with and for artists such as Phillip Sollmann (Efdemin), Hanne Lippard and Jessica Ekomane.
Feel free to contact me.
In collaboration with the one and only Vanessa Porter I developed the composition „Überlauftulpe“ (Bell-Mouth) for percussion and electronics. The starting material for the 4-channel-audio work was sound recordings from inside the waterworks. The composition plays with the contrasting qualities of water between threat and harmonic elixir of life.
The project was supported by the Innovation Fund Art – MWK Baden-Württemberg and with funds from the Bruno Frey Foundation, the Karin and Uwe Hollweg Foundation and the Josef Wund Foundation.
