"I started playing music when
I was fourteen, after hitch-hiking to the next bigger city and buying a
pair of bongos. Increasing my percussion set, I had my first groups. After
school I worked in a studio for photography in Cologne. At the same time I
got more and more interested in improvised and experimental music. As a
member of the artist group 'Heinrich Mucken', founded in 1982, I got
involved in site specific art projects. I studied art in Cologne and
Visual Communication in Kassel(MA). My visual interest shifted towards the
use of light in three dimensional spaces. Now I am living in Berlin,
working as musician and visual artist.
The list of activities includes concerts, performances and exhibitions
among others:'documenta 8' Kassel (with the artist group 'Heinrich Mucken'),
