Just a short notice for all fellow readers. After a long time of ignoring i'm now gonna test Twitter for providing you with short news information regarding False Mirror.
Check http://twitter.com/false_mirror.
In about two hours I will leave for the St. Gallen concert (see previous blog entry), hope everything works as prepared.

Damen & Herren unter Wasser (ladies & gentlemen under water) is the (very strange) title of a dancing performance to which I will contribute my music and play live during the shows.
The first performance is on Saturday, the 6th of June in the Volksbad St. Gallen, Switzerland - the oldest bath in Switzerland I've been told with two shows (20:00 and 22:00). One week later, it will be performed in Ulm at the Stadtregal-Halle (one show at 22:00).

Here's just a short concert announcement that probably will be of no interest for the most part of you. This Friday, 1st May 2009, Ulm-based artist Rebekka Antoniadou and I will give an action-painting performance at the Kulturgewächshaus Birkenried. This is kind of an experiment, where she will produce certain sounds whilst painting which I will record live and manipulate it in real-time. [read more]
Hi folks.
Here are just some unspecified news.
1.) The next False Mirror album is almost finished. I had been working on it since late 2007 and I'm quite sure it will have been worth the effort. It will be released later this year and more information will be presented here when it's time for it.
2.) I'd been out doing some field Recordings the day before yesterday. There was quite a nice storm here and I stood inside a signpost near the Danube river with my beloved NT4 mic:

Hello fellow readers.
Somehow I had forgotten about the sound of the month for December (somehow I had forgotten about December at all). This is mainly the reason because I'm currently pretty busy working on a new flexible, efficient and stunningly-sounding DSP framework WAVE, comparable to MaxMSP (but without any GUI and with the aim to surpass wherever possible). I have already finished some basic modules like oscillators, vector operations, wavetable management, etc. Additionally, I programmed a granular synthesis object 'Granulator' where I improved some of my older algorithms. So here is the first sound example which you can download as usually in the downloads section.

The November Sound Of The Month is no recording this time, but a 'ringtone' track I made for my smartphone a while ago.
The track was mixed and mastered for maximum loudness on mobile devices, so it might sound awful on a good sound system. Be aware that it is also just a mono sound file.

Playing at the St. Antonius Church in Düsseldorf was an extraordinary experience. The Neo-Romanesque Church was absolutely matching my music in both - sonic and visual ways.
I have uploaded a first few pictures of my set:
