Biography:

since the mid 60s i have been involved in music with local rock bands, and started off a serious musical career as lead guitar player with the 70s german prog rock band Prof. Wolfff (one of the first rock bands in germany to use german lyrics). studies at the jazz school munich (1975-77), training in north indian vocal music and percussion (dhrupad style), 1982-88 in india, provided a solid base for creative experiences in rock, fusion, world, experimental, electronic, and also with dance and theater projects. i had the opportunity to explore and practice sound healing, teach workshops and training courses mainly in europe, but also for a short period in ethiopia.

at present i compose music for contemporary and multimedia musicdance projects, perform my own music live on electric guzheng and percussion (postworld improvised music/live looping/fx) and with multimedia musicdance projects. i also facilitate circledrumevents (community drumming) at festivals and for music therapy training.

the encounter with theater/movement opened my eyes to music and its healing virtues and i studied the mongolian overtone technique, north indian vocal and percussion (dhrupad style), yoga, body/breath awareness, healing aspects of sound/color and indian music therapy. based on this experience i propose innerSounds relaxation/healing concerts with tibetan bowls, gongs and tubular bells (CD spirits of shambhala at cdbaby).
