+++ Hello World +++

December 20 2025. This page is currently undergoing a lot of changes. Some pages might be broken. If you come across a dead link or obivous error - get in touch :-)

December 5 2025. I needed a simple tool that helps with recording lots of short samples. I like how it turned out and if you are using Ableton Live, you can have it, too.

November 7 2025. Spending my time writing code and documentation for something really big, and making steady progress with it. If things continue to develop like they do at the moment, there will be an announcement about it in early 2026.

Fragile Territories installation at Monopol Berlin October 2025

October 11 2025. Fourteen years ago I decided to explore what I can do with lasers. Wonderful circumstances brought me together with Michael Sollinger, CEO and founder of LaserAnimation Sollinger here in Berlin. Without his support and encouragement none of my laser installations and concert pieces would have been possible. LaserAnimation today turned 40. Happy Anniversary! Photo above taken at Monopol Berlin where I showed my first installation Fragile Territories again, as part of the birthday celebrations.

September 10 2025 - A stereo mixdown of my Dust performance at Mostra Festival, Barcelona in April is now online via Delayed.NYC . Enjoy!

May 2025 - Lumière III just had its final performance at Mapping Festival in Geneva, on May 24. I did present the first version of Lumière in 2013. At that time no commercial laser graphics software could accomplish the things I am interested in. I developed my own system, which I refined in the years to come, and which inspired amongst others the creators of Touch Designer to implement control tools after seeing my Lumière II show in Toronto in 2015. When performing Lumière III in Geneva, I realised I still consider it a great artistic and technical achievement, even by the standards of 2025.
