This page features some of my past and current musical projects ranging from electronic, improvised, and experimental music, to jazz and popular music. I perform regularly with computer and electronics, trumpet, Akai EWI, saxophone, and keyboards in various musical formations, and also compose, produce, and record.

Performance and Improvisation

Two solos with Akai EWI and trumpet on Open Season’s Iron Dub.


Performing live with Nebelle at Dampfzentrale Bern (trumpet and electronics).


Performance excerpts with my python-based owleapyo system which learns and imitates expressive parameters of the performer via a gestural or midi controller.

An improvised piece created with BigBang by dynamically interacting with the creative process

Improvisations on the Grand Piano with Ableton Push, Leap Motion Gestures, and BigBang.

Excerpt from a freely improvised recording with KG (drums), playing the EWI and Monomachine

A piece from an improvised program, playing trumpet and electronics, with KG (electronics) and flamenco dancers

Music for a dance project, tenor saxophone solo over a morphing structure between two dub rhythms created using the Morphing rubette

Composition

Out on the Terrace - old-school instrumental composed for Open Season, playing trumpet on the recording


The Moon is Waiting - old-school instrumental composed for Open Season, playing trumpet on the recording


Elephant Walk - ska jazz instrumental composed for Open Season, playing trumpet on the recording


Speed Up, Vansy - ska jazz instrumental composed for Open Season, playing trumpet on the recording


Some of my older experimental jazz music only exists as scores. Here are a few examples written for small formations, mostly trios and quartets: Stoub, Berglied, sieben, acht

Production

Here are some pieces I produced and recorded in collaboration with various musicians.

Remix of Isleworth Mona Lisa, Jeans for Jesus

Production for Siegfrieds and Toys

Remix made for Open Season’s new album

Song produced for our webapp for Open Season, where users can record their own sounds that automatically appear in the song (https://cooler.openseason.ch, see Software page)

A beat where everything is created and synthesized with BigBang, except for the drums

Dub piece produced with Absolute Killa

A few examples with BigBang

A short spectral piece using a number of spacially distributed sine oscillators transforming in various groups (this piece can also be watched during gesturalization in BigBang on YouTube)

A seemingly improvised piece for several guitars, emerging from a simple transformation of a Scarlatti sonata

A rhythmical structure of overlapping sound sources resulting in beating patterns

A minimalistic spectral piece emerging from spacially distributed oscillators growing and decreasing in number

An UPIC-inspired piece consisting of transformed and reiterated freehand drawings
