Residence: Germany
Biography: Sound engineering and composition studies with Prof. Martin Christoph Redle at the University of Music in Detmold, electronic music studies at music colleges in Bremen and Hamburg, advanced studies in electronic music with Prof. Ipke Starke, at the University of Music and Theatre in Leipzig, from 2005–07 freelance sound engineer at several recording studios, since 2007 sound engineer at the Theatre of Anhalt in Dessau.
Program Notes: Theatre… a place of huge spaces and hidden rooms, of illusions, transformations and metamorphoses, of o! dd professions and strange machines, of long traditions and new inventions, of creativity… erm, not if one, as a sound engineer, has to work with uninspired directors using the same three noises of thunder, bells and shots over and over again, always in the same manner, as directors in the past centuries already did. So my piece is an attempt to show how sound could be in modern theatre, it is an autobiographical sketch of my professional life and a hommage to my collegues working behind, below and above the stage, contributing to the Gesamtkunstwerk, too.
