March 2008

It's hard to keep a web-site up-to-date because it needs a lot of attention and care. In the last years I wasn't able to do this properly. The only updated part since 2001 is dates. I have to rethink the whole conception and I plan a relaunch this summer, as well as several releases of the music I made in the last years. For this purpose we set up a label (together with Ali Askin) and we hope that we celebrate the first issue this (late) summer.
next performances: frankfurter positionen (two steps apart), empty rooms at Copenhagen's new sound art radiostation programmet for lydkunst and reportable in pact zollverein Essen.

Stifter's Dinge by Heiner Goebbels is all around Europe this year (Valencia, Zürich, Bern, Amsterdam, Brussels, London, Istanbul). For this piece I developed the complete programming (MaxMSP etc.) and controller logistics and was part of the artistic team.

February 2007

A brief résumé of last few month:
I've finished the work on Vollrad Kutscher's Museum Wiesbaden 2006 video work successfully and I like it very much. You can see and hear it at the Foyer of the Museum every day (loop, ~15 minutes). We also premièred our Berner Abendmahl video work in Bern (CH), Innsbruck (AT) and ZKM Karlsruhe (DE) successfully. It's part of the DVD release art_clips.ch.at.de (out now).
In December we visited Vienna's TanzQuartier with this wonderful bitch of a piece Directory 3: Tattoo. We had good times in Vienna, good audience and very good press. Kattrin/Thomas, just thanks.
In February I spend another 10 days in Lausanne with Heiner Goebbels new Theatre piece. Intensive work and good spirits. All the technical needs are almost cleared (thanks to the people at Vidy). I'm looking forward to the creation weeks in August/September.
Recently I started my professorship at the Institute of Applied Theatre Science in Giessen (D). Two weeks, good work with the students. Watch out for the results in May/June.
