For the visualisation I use Modul8, a rather simple software at first sight, but with quite some possibilities. It reacts to MIDI as well as to sound. So I use the note information which comes via MIDI from an external sequencer like the Electron Octatrack or the Torso T-1.
What do you want people who listen to your work to feel and experience? And how about your live performances?
I try to keep my music as open as possible, free of certain clichés and stereotypes that could convey a definite feeling. I therefore design it partly very abstract, to leave as much as possible of the interpretation and perspective to the listener. That’s what excites me about listening to music myself, to let my own imagination play, and I expect the same from the audience.
I don’t feel like an entertainer or a performer, I just want to rely on the effect of the music. Sometimes I show highly synchronised animations, calculated in real time, which visualise the music by means of simple, geometric patterns and colours. To a certain degree these can facilitate the understanding of the music.
