  • The Guitaret Album
    A guitaret is a rare lamellophone instrument build in the mid-1960s. I own one, and together with the nice people from the Facebook guitaret fan group, I created this little free download album of guitaret pieces - I contributed two tracks

  • Twelve/Eight music
    I played "a nod to early Philip Glass minimalism" on this 4-hour livelooping compilation on Bandcamp - this album was produced by a collective of artists, wanting to mark the last consecutive day in our lifetimes 12.12.12. So, on this day or around this day we came up with a piece, a lot of them 12 minutes long, with the theme 12.

  • 11Eleven Project
    November 11th, 2011 incited several projects - one of them was a compilation of livelooping music, all recorded on this day at 11:11. Another, much more ambitious project (started in Australia) was the 11Eleven Project that resulted in a wonderful 80 minute movie about this day. I felt very proud to see my livelooping guitar music turn up in one beautiful scene in the movie. The movie was released and screened in many cinemas around the world on November 11, 2012. There will be a DVD - be sure to watch this film, it is really beautiful and quite moving

    Craig Green came from Idaho and did a little European tour again. One of the tour dates was Cologne and the third evening of experimental guitar music in Cologne's Loft, again with Michael Frank, Craig Green, and Michael Peters. Video later.

  • Gogo Moka
    is said to mean something like "orienting towards the light". Looping colleagues Alexander Meyen (violin) and Eela Soley (voice, keyboards, flutes), with me on guitar, created an evening of improvised music, Janina Bobrowski danced, PhilX & Anne Nouwynck decorated the stage. We had a very pleasant and promising evening in a theater in Cologne. It seems Gogo Moka will become a project!
  • England mini tour
    After the Tuesday's Post gig in early September in London, I also played on a very nice little festival in Penarth near Cardiff. David Cooper Orton had put together a great album with music by all participants - listen here. Here is a video from London and here one from Penarth (with Fabio Anile)

Here is a piece from my solo set and here's another one.

    This livelooping festival in a Cologne church was a delight, not only musically but also visually. The evening's final trio improvisation (see youtube) gives a good impression
