I haven’t released any guitar track since 2009 and there are two reasons for this. The first one is that “classical” composition and solo-gigs took most of my time, the second one is that I don’t believe in instrumental-rock anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I still do love guitar and rock and am very proud of every song I made but I had to find a way to make further songs that would be more personal, a way that would be closer to my work in the field of “classical” composition.

Bruxelles is basically a piece of experimental music I composed for Treffpunkte (see the composer page) and that I performed for the festival Ankunft: Neue Musik, I took a chance on trying to do something new that would suit me as a guitarist AND as a composer and hope you will like it. You can listen to the studio recording in the guitarist.

I am playing two solo-shows in Berlin this month, the one at Die Weisse Rose actually occuring within the frame of the opening of Keith Thorne’s exhibit “Der vergessene Osten”.
