About

spatial guitar music … each string sounds in a different loudspeaker … electronic extends the classical instrument … timbres flow into one another … spatial sound fields emerge … beyond words and categories, the inner sound resonates … spatial sound narratives ignite the magic of music … connectedness with the moment

In the background the guitar by José Rincón Mora (oil on canvas, around 1964). It gave me the idea of ​​fragmenting the sound of the guitar. To let it become multiperspective and sharing it with you in walk-in sound spaces.

The one-minute video (below) shows a recording session for a sound and video installation at Berlin Central Station. With headphones, a spatial sound opens up to you, as with my experimental live studio album Relief from 2011 (republished online 2025).

The sheet music collection Gravur 1 – 10 for solo guitar (Edition Margaux) emerged from a weekly sound space in the Zionskirche Berlin (2014 – 2019). The sound of the room combined with the sound of the concert guitar in a particularly inspiring way. (Publishing house online)

The works for orchestra 1 – 3 were already laid out as interactive walk-in sound spaces in the score. They were premiered with musicians from Berlin’s international independent scene in church rooms of the Kulturbüro Elisabeth (2013 – 2017, documentary concert films/ KlanGalerie Berlin).

My music is shaped by my exploration of the densely coded tradition of the guitar and its multifaceted contemporary perspectives. It arises from an attitude of openness and deep connection to the present moment.

The electro-acoustically enhanced concert guitar combines the timbre of the classical guitar with the expressive possibilities of the electric guitar in a multi-layered, spatial sound.

I shape my personal expression in the resonance chamber of historical influences and contemporary impulses. My art of creative playing combines intuition and structure.
