Fifteen years ago I first heard about a method that makes comb filters disappear when summing multiple microphones. Patented at the Institut für Rundfunktechnik, never turned into a product.

An augmented reality orchestra plays the famous "Mission: Impossible" theme by Lalo Schifrin. With your smartphone as a magic magnifying glass, you can get very close to the instruments.

Closed chambers of 1 sqm footprint stand in the middle of the urban space and invite you to listen. Extremely short sounds are extended to the maximum: the fractions of a second of a gunshot become 10 minutes of music. The surprise of a fist blow turns into a consoling elegy.

A documentary film about the destructive power of war, its traumatizing effect on an officer and his family, which extends far beyond the war. With music by Mathis Nitschke.
Labyrinth deLux - A Crusoe Quest is a VR puzzle game in first person perspective, set in an alien space station. I created a musical sound design for the various game elements, which interact together to create a 3D soundscape through which you move (6 DoF).
"In 1961, Adolf Eichmann, the planner and organizer of the Holocaust, was sentenced to death by hanging in Jerusalem. In one of the most highly regarded trials of the post-war period, unbearable details about the National Socialist extermination machinery and its perpetrators come to light for the world public, because the defendant talks. Music and Sounddesign for the staging by Thomas Jonigk at the Schauspiel Köln.
The first performance of Pension Schöller took place in Berlin in 1890, was filmed several times and has since regularly caused tears in the theater, of course with laughter.
