About
Composer and sound-image artist, interdisciplinary artistic work since 1971.
In my compositions, which often span different genres, I create sound and visual metaphors for archetypal themes.
Studied musicology, German language and literature and philosophy at the universities of Bonn and Bochum. Visual training with the Informel painter Hans-Jürgen Schlieker at the MZ of the Ruhr University Bochum. Studied composition with Nicolaus A. Huber at the Folkwang University of the Arts Essen, electronic and computer composition with Dirk Reith at the ICEM. 1978 Folkwang Prize for Composition
Since 2003 development of the interdisciplinary artistic approach "visible music" with the forms of "visiography" and "video-visiography" (sound-image compositions). First public performances of video visiographies in the Frankfurt Kaiserdom as part of the Luminale 2010.
Collaboration with visual artists, authors, choreographers and therapists.
