Live sound design for concerts of the Musica Viva series of the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunk, e.g. on 6 February 2014 with Helmut Lachenmann and Peter Eötvös in the Herkulessaal of the Residenz Munich.
At the time, when I could still repair my car myself, I could recognize the condition of the car by the sound of the blinker relay. This click-clack was caused by an electromagnetic switching process. The relay is a mechanical component that wears out and changes its sound as the vehicle ages. The relay resinifies, the clacking becomes harder.
The starting point of my research for the Linde Sound Signet was the aeolian harp: mostly harp-like music sculptures built as larger installations with strings that are not played by a musician's fingers but vibrated by the wind. Equipped with a compressed air pistol, I recorded a variety of air played harp glissandi.
The emotional highlight and conclusion of the Linde Management Conference 2012 in Shanghai was a joint evening of all participants with a concert for orchestra, choir and world music soloists. We connected the location of the event, the Shanghai Cruise Terminal on the Huangpu River, with the company's history - from the inventor Carl von Linde to the globally operating major corporation: "Source becomes stream becomes river becomes sea - and beyond, the mighty ocean...".
A comedy by Thomas Jonigk about unfulfilled wishes, longings, hopes and missed opportunities. And about love, which remains the only possibility. Staged by Christof Loy at the Schauspielhaus Zurich.
A choreographic project of the Bavarian State Ballet with the 8th grade of the Municipal St. Anna Gymnasium
For this composition by Wolfgang von Schweinitz I developed ring modulators in the old transformer diode circuit as it was used in the 1950s. This circuit sounds fundamentally different than the simple digital multiplication of two signals, as it is used today in digital live electronics: full of sonorous beauty.
Pepa is Bennis's best friend ever. She has only one small mistake: she is invisible. Benni doesn't mind that much, he's the only one who can see Pepa - but his mother is very worried. What if something is wrong with the boy? So she drags him to the psychiatrist. Children's radio play by Caroline Ebner.
Buyers wait for their appointment with the sellers. For the waiting time a cozy lounge was installed in which the guests could inform themselves on ipads about the K5 film program. The music in this room should not only generate a unique sense of space and an atmosphere of relaxation and recreation, but also stimulate the intellectual receptiveness.
For this production by Christiane Pohle at the Thalia Theater Hamburg, I conceived an installation consisting of four short-wave transmitters that could be received by several radios distributed on the stage.
