Music for moving images
The Austrian collector, organiser, music and art enthusiast Dr. Dieter Rodemund has asked me to write music for a series of videos about his homeland, the valley of the river Krems in Upper-Austria.
Below you can find the first three of these videos, highlighting some of the natural beauty of this area.
Dieter and Inge Rodemund have been passionately encouraging artists and all forms of artistic expression.
Their house was home for countless encounters in the field of art.
They have founded their cultural initiative - Medizin und Kunst (Medicin and Art) - back in 1995 and have kept it alive for 28 years.
Thank you!

A Film by Norbert Wiedmer
Original Bratsch - Poster designed by Stephan Bundi @ www.atelierbundi.ch
The new film music project that I have the honour and the great pleasure to be involved in is a collaboration with the Swiss Film and Documentary director Norbert Wiedmer.
It is a long term documentary (2016 - 2022) that has followed the start of an alternative school concept in 2016 until the first generation of students are now leaving the school, to attend further education or enter a professional career. The new school already managed to revitalise a village in a remote Swiss mountain area and attracts a great number of new pupils every year. It created a name for itself, and offers an alternative to the schools run by the state.
Bratsch - A village goes to school is currently being screened in Swiss Cinemas...

A Lament for Existence
This is an Initiative of Iranian Kamanche Player Hesam Inanlou. I am honoured to be part of this, for it marks the very first time that I played together with Kamanche in my life - and it happened over a distance of approximately 4700km.
Hesame released a whole series of videos where he plays in Duo with esteemed colleagues - and he called this series a Lament for Existence.
Ö1 Kunstsonntag Radiosession / Austrian cultural radio
It was a great opportunity to create, record and broadcast this solo performance during the Corona Lockdown on this well-known Austrian radio station. It is a mix of fully improvised tunes and solo recordings of some of my tunes that have previously been recorded with different groups.
Listen to the entire program and see some additional pictures on Youtube. Thanks to Dieter Rodemund for the video and the embellishment with pictures.
On soundcloud you can listen to the music only, without interviews and announcements.

reaLTime - Usina del Arte
It was a great experience to play in this fabuluous chamber hall in Buenos Aires.
Upon invitation of Adrián Iaies, director of the Buenos Aires Jazz Festival, I played my program reaLTime, this time with special guest José Saluzzi.
The public was very warm, attentive and receptive.
Together with the great crew of the festival, the acoustics of the room and the great PA, as well as the guitar playing of José Saluzzi, it added up to a very nice late afternoon concert experience.
