100 Saiten Beuys - new video!

In 2022, we went on an interdisciplinary journey between jazz, art mediation, and photography.
This was a very special project, and I had the honour to compose, improvise, and play live
a musical understanding of Joseph Beuys on the piano.

Rüdiger Bierhorst - Im Zentrum des Kreisels
record release

Touched by Rüdi’s playing and singing his own songs at the campfire at Waldinsel,
I told him “in case you need keyboards one day...”,
and had no idea to later become the producer (technical+musical director) of an incredible album that he had been working on for years.
Together with co-producer/multi-instrumentalist John Winston Berta and the Hannover crew we made it possible, and with much love and care for detail, this project probably saved us from the lowest pandemic-lows... And after many days of sound-design, recording, arranging, mixing, in 2023 it finally came out.
