Erupción Volcánica La Palma
How likely is it that you will see the moment a volcano comes out of the earth with your own eyes?
That's exactly what happened to me on La Palma in the Canary Islands, when, on September 19, 2021 at 3.12 pm, a mushroom cloud of smoke suddenly shot out of the ground behind our house, followed by rocks and fire, with a sound like a moon rocket taking off from under the ground. In response to my cry of “The volcano has erupted”, my friend shouted back “Take a photo, take a photo” No sooner said than done.
During our immediate escape and the following three months during the eruption, in which we lived sometimes here, sometimes there, I was able to capture the various stages of the volcanic eruption in pictures and sound. Accompanied by the disaster control team, we got within a few hundred meters of the volcano. We stood in the middle of the rain ash and pyroclastic sediments, one deafening explosion followed another, columns of eruptions several kilometers high rose up, then again lava fountains up to 600 m high and the earth shook with sometimes up to 1000 earthquakes a day. Our village of Todoque was completely buried by the lava. Many families lost their homes, their belongings including libraries, photo albums and other memories of their past, as they no longer had time to take anything with them and could only save themselves.
As fascinating as the natural spectacle was on the one hand, it was also traumatic for many of those affected. It took me a good two years before I was halfway able to sift through the recorded material. My aim is to create an audio-visual interpretation of the events as we experienced them on La Palma. The planned EP consists of 4 tracks that musically reflect the course of the volcanic eruption in various phases. The music interweaves sound recordings made on site with associative sound samples, theremin and underground techno, to tell the story and make the outbreak experienceable.
I had intended to release the EP on 19.09.2024. But because the memories of the outbreak kept catching up with me while I was working with the sound material and were so depressing, I had to take longer breaks before I could continue working on it. Therefore, not everything is finished as planned and I am now postponing the release by exactly one year, to the next anniversary of the volcanic eruption, on 19.09.2025.

Lost Spaces Detroit
In my album „Lost Spaces → Detroit“, I wove together the city’s echoes from historical and cultural landmarks, such as an abandoned car factory, the ghostly halls of Central Station, and the Michigan Theater, now ironically transformed into a parking garage. I combined these raw, atmospheric recordings with electronic beats and my theremin to musically bring these forgotten spaces to life. Each track is a sonic tribute to a distinct place, offering an immersive journey into the past and present of Detroit with an underground techno vibe.

From Silence To Symphony: How Sound Tells Hidden Stories
My Soundscape Manifesto
„I want you to not only hear something, but also experience something! Wherever we go, there is a breathtaking symphony of sound. There is so much sound information in the air that we usually ignore. Each room has a unique sound identity that shapes our perception and impacts us. Moreover, each room serves as a vessel for the echoes of countless moments and stories. When I stay somewhere for a while, the sound of a room begins to change, becoming denser, filled with tones and sounds that begin to tell me something. It’s like an imaginary movie with a unique soundtrack. I collect these hidden sound treasures to uncover their stories and blend them into a vibrant underground techno vibe.
