Grew up where the country meets the city ... the monastery (St. Florian) here, the industry (V
EST) there ... in still-functioning tradition ... there was music (Brucknerās organ) in the church and a radio at home ... blindfolded, we played "which carās cominā up the mountain?" ... a VW Beetle was easy ... an iron pipe to make noise, my favorite toy ... (...) then I was in a band and things started to
get English ... we almost never sounded good ... I wanna be more serious, I wanna get over the "tralla tralla" ... then ... Involvement with composition, psychoacoustics and sound design ... motion makes sound ... spaces and materials have a sound .... my heart beats a rhythm ... I wanna get closer to my dreams ...
