I am happy to be featured in Volker Schütz’s and Johannes Maria-Schlorkes’ exhibition Geisterspiel at Saarländisches Künstlerhaus — this is a little ‘monument’ Volker, his machines and I created.

Live Stream presented by The Vale now available
Thank you to everyone who watched and listened to my live stream. Here is the video of my performance in case you missed it.
Thank you The Vale for providing a platform for me to perform and special thanks to Kate for organising and moderating the Facebook chat.
In my live stream, I used two images by two of my favourite visual artists. The incredible Volker Schütz provided the image in the bottom right corner entitled ‘Berührung’ (English: touch) which is also showcased at the Social Distancing Art Festival. The wonderful Violeta-inch Angelova stood model for this piece. In the top left corner you can see ‘Open Field’, a collaboration between the miraculous Bella Probyn and me, a collage between photography and poetry.

Reform Radio Takeover
I am grateful that Reform Radio let me take over their station last night.
You can listen to my takeover on Refom Radio’s website and on Mixcloud.
I presented my first two singles Air and Reform. Air uses field recordings of Manchester’s rain and comes with a windy instrumentation, whereas Reform contains field recordings of Manchester’s construction sites and comes with industrial drums and broken beats echoing urban spaces.
The other tracks were of producers that inspire me, mostly left-field electronica. These artists are all very idiosyncratic and think beyond genre. They are driven by passion for sound and a sense of adventure. I hope you will find them inspiring, too.

Second single ‘Reform’ out now!
My second single ‘Reform‘ is out now on all online music platforms. Whereas ‘Air’ uses field recordings of rain and explores windy and airy themes, ‘Reform’ contains field recordings of Manchester’s construction sites and comes with industrial sounding drums and broken beats echoing urban spaces. Volker Schütz contributed an artwork that serves as polar twin to the ‘Air’ artwork. This is why I decided to release both songs in succession and shortly after one another. I hope you enjoy the contrast in sound and image! X
New Live from Home Concert
I recorded this live set in my living room. It starts with my first single ‘Air‘ (out now on all streaming platforms/in all online stores) and closes with my upcoming single ‘Reform‘ (out on the 5th of June). Whereas ‘Air’ comes with a windy and fluffy instrumentation and field recordings of rain, ‘Reform’ contains broken beats and industrial sounds combined with field recordings of construction sites echoing urban spaces. I also played a few unreleased songs.
Setlist
1. Air
2. Soundscape of the City
3. Untitled
4. Gothik
5. Reform
I hope you enjoy!

First single ‘Air‘ out now!
I am happy to announce that my first single ‘Air‘ is now available on all streaming platforms and in online stores. The song contains field recordings of Manchester’s rain and comes with a light and fluffy instrumentation. Volker Schütz delivered the artwork for which the wonderful Hanna Sprengel stood model. I would recommend listening to ‘Air’ in the sunshine, in your garden or local park, and just zone out for a bit. Happy spring! X
