Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Classical concert pianist based in Berlin/Germany with a wide range of piano repertoire from baroque to very recent contemporary music. Collaborations with contemporary composers such as Stockhausen, Lachenmann, Corbett among many others. Solo recitals with innovative programs all over Europe, South- America and Asia. Interdisciplinary projects between classical piano and electronic club music or Jazz and for music and theatre.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years? Do you feel that changing tastes over years as artistic growth? ?
My musical roots are in classical music from Bach and Beethoven to Chopin and Brahms. At the age of 14 I started to be interested in Jazz and improvisation, later i came up with contemporary music, what I explored extensively. Then my fascination for Techno began. As a result my actual musical activities resume all these different influences and somehow try to combine elements off all these musical worlds in order to create something fresh and new.
