DEGEM CD 13 @ Kontakte Festival
The DEGEM CD 13 “Borders”, which I curated, will be presented to the public by my person during the Kontakte Festival at the Academy of Arts in Berlin!
Border — it can define the edge of a room, it can be a dividing line or a delimited area. Borders can occur between people, nations, states, thoughts, traditions, lands, and cultures. A border can be a demarcation or exclusion between outside and inside. It can define one’s own limits or the limits to another. Borders can be cut, crossed, opened, overcome, ignored, or moved. A border can also be completely insurmountable.
Borders — this is a central theme of our time. While borders in many parts of Europe were taken down some time ago, on the edges of the continent there is a border that has become deadly for many people in the past few months. Religions and cultures are perceived as borders. Being involved with the current political situation has motivated me to create the DEGEM CD 13 with Borders as the overreaching theme.
Borders — The composers whose work appears on this CD have been completely free to interpret the theme. Ten new and high-quality pieces of music have thus been written which all address the theme in a wide-ranging, experimental, and highly differentiated manner.
Work with Sounds Conference
On August 21st, I will give an inside into the interactive soundstation I designed for the EU-Project Work with Sounds, during the corresponding conference at the Museum Zeche Zollern in Dortmund.
The soundstation will be exposed that day and can be used by attendees of the conference.

Untertage @ IMT 2015
On Sunday, may 17th, will be the premiere of my sound installation Untertage during the International Museums Day 2015 at the Henrichshütte Hattingen.
The installation is inspired by the text “Aus dem Bergmannsleben” by Karl Krampe and is built with sounds from the EU-Project Work with Sounds.
U_Turn
Now on Soundcloud: a short excerpt of the music for U_Turn, a generative sound- and dance installation, I realized in cooperation with the Choreographer David N. Russo.
The performance took place in the Munich Dome on the Aschermittwoch der Künstler.
