| about | I started playing guitar in the early seventies, mostly playing in open improvisation bands. In the eighties, I played in new age bands, punk and rock bands, and open improvisation orchestras, and took some Guitar Craft lessons from Fripp. In the nineties, I played with a cover band and a Guitar Craft inspired ensemble. During the last years, I mostly played with avant rock and open improv bands again.
I have always used electronics and strange devices to make my guitar sound unusual, and loop delays and computers to construct unusual pieces of solo music. All of my CT tracks were done directly in the computer - now that I think of it, I didn't play guitar on any of them ...
Since 2003, I've been experimenting with real-time looping and cut-up collage techniques using a simple radio as input, being fascinated by the unpredictability of that sound source.
and I've built this website ... that was big fun and a very satisfying task. |
