I’m excited today to announce the release of the original soundtrack for “The Dive” directed by Max Erlenwein and produced by augenschein Filmproduktion! It’s a score I composed together with Academy Award winning composer Volker Bertelmann last year.

The soundtrack is available digitally now and will be out on vinyl via Music On Vinyl on January 26!

This project has been a blast from start to finish and I’m so glad that I can share the soundtrack with you. The movie is in cinemas in germany at the moment so go see it if you have the chance!

The soundtrack was mixed by Thomas Csaba and mastered by Calyx

Aggregate (Piano, DX7 and Modular Synth) 24/06/2023

Ups... I almost forgot this one. I recorded this in January and for some reason it has been sitting on my hard drive ever since. Anyway, here it is. I really like the sound of the DX7 on this one. It's a tricky synth to use because the cultural connotation is so strong, and unless you're doing synthwave that connotation rarely serves the track.

As it was so long ago, I don't really remember what I did here for the patch. There's a loop on "Lubadh" that goes into "Beads" and I assume the synth is my usual EvenVCO → BF22 → Hexmix VCA setup.

Note Augmentation (for Piano and Synthesizer) 19/05/2023

New Video!

A few weeks ago I had the great pleasure of attending a concert of Grisey's "Les espaces acoustiques" at the "Acht Brücken" festival in Cologne. This concert came at a good time for me as for a while I have been re-exploring sound, spectra and overtones in my work. Something I was very interested in at university, but lost track of when I started working more and had my hands full. This slightly playful piece explores some of these ideas. See if you can spot it...

Vignette No.1 25/04/2023

Trying something new today! As is evident from my lack of posting I’ve been pretty busy lately. Which is good (mostly) but still I’ve been trying to think of something that I could post for you guys that would be a bit more easy for me to fit into times when I don’t as much time to dedicate to recording, editing and posting videos. At the same time I found myself capturing small moments around town with my camera. So here’s one of these moments set to music. Hope to share more of these in the future.

Tom Blankenberg and I have been cooking up something behind the scenes that I'm happy to announce: we're organising a little festival for this year's Piano Day at the off-space "The Pool" in Düsseldorf. It's going to be four days of all things piano, including a concert by BEN WINKLER and myself together with Simeon Walker , with whom I'm finally going to share a stage (after a twice postponed gig during Covid...).

The festival will take place from the 29th. March until the 1st of April. April. More info coming soon! It's going to be great.
