Hi everybody,
Hibernation is about to end. Back in Europe I found my way back on stage. On the 20th of March I will perform in a Duo setting at Jakobshof in Aachen with the outstanding Benedikt Jahnel on piano. ( http://www.jakobshof.de )
The week after I will move to Berlin. I am looking forward to what this year will bring. I am working on the release of my third album featuring Rich Perry, Anthony Pinciotti, Gordon Au and Victor Gould. Beyond, I'll strive to give all those shapeshifters and music researchers out there a home in the capital of Germany.

 So after all my miniature one-man show circus is moving east to winter camp. The music sounds good. The dramaturgy is done, now it is time to work behind the scenes. Clean up the arena, brush the elephant’s teeth, give the monkey sugar etc. I will soon have to abandon my American bass. Forever? No, never. I will leave this instrument with friends and I know it will be in the best hands.

After almost 6 months of meditating, contemplating and writing I am now ready for the studio. So far the new album titled „Antipodal Dramaturgy“ is but an idea.

Dear all, once again time has come to move forward in life as much as in music: At this point I am concentrating on my inner ear. I am listening to the sounds in my head and heart, and I have started to write down the music.

With the mission to organize this event I was given an opportunity to create a little illustration of the cultural nexus between Bavaria (where I was born and raised) and America. In history and at present, there exists a remarkable number of examples of mutually enriching exchange between both cultures.

Hi Everybody,
A Happy New Year to you all!
2012 will bring new music and new projects. For instance, on January 17th I will perform at the Audi Forum NYC along with Florian Hoefner, Rich Perry and Nick Anderson.
I have been commissioned by „Invest in Bavaria“, an agency funded by the Ministry of Economy, Infrastructure and Traffic of the federal German state of Bavaria (where I was born and raised) to organize this event (which will be by invitation only) and to provide a modern take on contemporary, cultural life in Bavaria.
Further, I have started to write new music, and we are going to work on another album.

10 years ago I climbed the twin towers of "Sagrada Familia" on my first day in Barcelona on 9/11 2001. Back on the ground I saw the horrid news about what had happened to the twin towers in New York and I watched the second plane hit live. I would never have thought then that I would end up living in New York City ten years later. It may very well be a coincidence that I have a performance scheduled at Caffe Vivaldi on 9/11 2011.
