The official video of “Als wäre alles gut” by Vember. This is by the way my final appearance with the band. After 3 great years of composing, recording and touring with the band, I felt like I had to move on to something different. Merci Vember!

I have just finished a piano piece entitled “You saw me die every Night….” for Nicolas Horvath’s GlassWorlds, a massive concert project dedicated to the piano music of Philip Glass. Nicolas Horvath -who is just finished with the recording of Glass’ complete piano music for the label Naxos- commissioned composers from all over the world to compose homages to the American composer and is soon going on tour.

The 10th of December 2014 shall be the greatest day of my life! I have been asked by Laura Marie Rueslåtten to compose a carillon piece for the opening ceremony of the Nobel Peace Prize 2014 in Oslo. I can’t say much at the moment but it is going to be a long and massive composition, filled with Joy and Light.

A little souvenir by Tobias Abt of the Daughtervill Festival 2014 in Hamburg where Vember played on last Saturday. We still have 2 two festivals coming on in July: Blank It Open Air Berlin on the 19 of July and BombRocks on the 26th of July in Hamburg.
