Between swamps

In 2019 I had the idea of composing two pieces for saxophone quartet inspired by the forlornness in swamps. The music reflects the mixture of search, despair and hope. The first movement, "Lost", leads into the swamps, bursting bubbles become audible, the step that is hindered by the muddy underground, the hopeful faster wading in 3/4 time, the resignation, since no way out seems possible. The second movement, "Lights", is more hopeful. The haze seems to clear, lights suddenly appear, which are greeted with joy and new momentum. But in the end, they are just Will-o‘-the-wisps. There is no escape.
You can listen to the compositions for saxophon quartet under"Videos" and as MP3 under Soundcloud. I recorded the pieces with flute, tenor sax, soprano sax and tubax. You will find the scores under "compositions".

A new soul version of "Without Rules" is released. Chritian Pohlen sings so emotionally. Sing along, if you like it. The lyrics can be found on youtube below the video.

A new composition for guitar solo

I've just released a new and old composition for guitar solo. You will find it in Dyass-music/compositions. I wrote this piece in 1983 and now I've revised it. If you are interested in this score, please contact me.

New CD released

In cooperation with the blues guitarist and singer Booker Jim (Kiel), a new CD was released on 11.2.21: Five songs, each in English and German, with critical lyrics and lively blues music. Renowned musicians such as Georg Schröter on piano and Ralf Tonnius (Hamburg) and Enzo Galli (Kiel) were part of the sessions. It was a lot of fun to play bass, organ and saxophone here and to contribute the background vocals.
