New Album: Lake Eerie
Out August 4th
Greetings!
It’s been a while. On August 4th I’ll release a new album called Lake Eerie. It’s a about 95 minutes of conceptual sound I recorded and arranged for for the exhibition "The Horror in Printmaking”
At KGW, Cologne, Germany
August 4th - September 1st 2023
About the installation:
The crises of our time seem to follow one another ever more closely. But they are not new: our fight against nature, against other people or against imaginary monsters has occupied mankind for thousands of years. And just as long artists have been dealing with the horror, the creepy and the uncanny.
Printmaking in particular has always played an important role in dealing with people's fears in wars, hardship and misery and creating an image of their time that enables a new perspective on said fears and their causes.
The KGW (Cologne Printmaking Workshop) has therefore brought together artists from all over Germany who, armed with a keen eye, cutting humor and sharpened tools, face the monsters of our time. Current crises, age-old human fears and personal demons are the inspiration for the works that can be seen from August 4th in Cologne.
The exhibition "The Horror in Printmaking" and its supporting program are also a journey through the history of artistic printmaking, from Dürer to artificial intelligence. It shows how artists of different generations have dealt with the fears that still haunt us all today.

is a radically reductive, text-based composition in two parts. having mainly created sound installations this work tries to strike a balance between the installed, sculptural sound and a con- certante composition.
aside from the framework the only premise was to keep it simple - to take away rather than add. that is, to predominantely use found sounds gathered in chicago, to use as few plugins as possible and rather manipulate sound in the moment of recording. and last not least, to strive for a haptic and organic characteristic of sound layers, shifting and moving ever so slightly.
