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).

In my personal musical language, I combine historical references with contemporary influences. My music is open, multi-layered and at the same time well-defined. The strongly codified guitar tradition is re-examined and transformed into an indeterminate, expression-oriented form.
