Albums

“Live in New York City” is my humble take & contribution to the genre of live recorded albums which was one of the most captivating formats accompanying me in my youth as a music lover. From U2’s “Under Blood Red Sky” to Neil Young’s “Weld” & Rush’s “Exit…Stage Left”, such live renditions were not only offering a raw and bigger than life interpretation to familiar studio versions but also functioned as miraculous teleporters, transferring a boy from his room straight into the heart of Red Rocks’ general admission. Recorded this summer at the TIME:SPANS festival in New York the album features a world premiere performance of Klaus Lang’s “chanson lointaine et doucs” alongside Lisa Illean’s recent creation – “Tiding”. Also included are some of my most favorite repertoire going all the way back to Fausto Romitelli’s “Trash TV Trance”. For the latter awaits you sharp listeners a brand new interpretation I’ve prepared especially for the occasion. A great bonus also comes in the shape of a masterfully made concert film directed by Paul Moon, to be published later in December on youtube/vimeo. Thankful to the many people involved (credits below), a special thank you goes to Thomas Fichter, artistic director of the Time:Spans festival and a driving force behind the project. 

Enjoy the music and the performance, it’s all yours now.
