Finally I had the opportunity to create walkthrough videos of the smartphone experiences "Vergehen" and "Inside MPhil - St. Nicolai". So people who have no possibility to visit the Experiences in Munich can get an impression. I will add subtitles later. These videos are for archival documentation purposes. The sound was recorded directly (live) from…

First time I actually finished an online course. "Machine Learning for Musicians and Artists" is a course hosted on Kadenze.com and taught by Dr. Rebecca Fiebrink. It proved to be instructive and inspiring and helped effectively for the communication with specialists from the field. It's a good intro if you’re new to the area and interested to…
MLure.art is a new central blog covering artistic research projects related to Machine Learning (= Artificial Intelligence) in theatre and music. Most of the projects are initiated by me. People involved in these research projects are Elsa Büsing, Klasien van de Zandschulp, Luciano Pinna, Mathis Nitschke, Patrick van der Smagt, Djalel Benbouzid and Boton Cseke.…
In this video, a further developed version of the real-time audio-visual artwork "Flow" performs with the piece "Ida Lupino", composed by Carla Bley, played by pianist Paul Bley, released on the 1973 ECM album "Open, to love" - one of the most influential recordings in the history of jazz piano.
I did the mixing for this concert video with very unusual music. DUO2KW with Klaus-Peter Werani, viola, and Kai Wangler, accordion, have produced their corona-canceled concert in the schweres reiter for the online stream and address the audience directly in the stream with the composers. Compositions by Morton Feldman, Sidney Corbett, Harald Lillmeyer, Stefan Prins and Philipp Mayer (UA) can be heard and seen. An arc is drawn from the "New York School" (Morton Feldman) to contemporary composition with various forms of electronics and playback (Prins and Mayer).
The ECM exhibition in Seoul has come to an end, my equipment is back in Munich. I immediately became nostalgic. So I've put the streaming server for "Small Places" back into operation and will let it run for the next weeks and months even without the exhibition, playing the whole catalogue of ECM Music from…
Justified criticism of the regents mixes with dangerous trivialisation of the virus, existential fear can no longer be separated from the fear of the health risk, highly interesting ethical questions come to a radical head and are buried under a wave of opinions and assertions. Out of this serious confusion - once again - a…
When I started to deal with the topic of smartphones/headphones/walking, I had no idea what significance such works could have for the current cultureless time. Somewhat uncanny.
Last year I received an honorable mention for the Sound Walk Sunday 2019 with my experience "Inside MPhil - St. Nikolai", which I created in collaboration with the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra. At the invitation of the organizers I wrote a blog article about the development of the app, which has now been published on their website "walk - listen - create".
