There’s not so much to do for us musicians during the pandemicso we started a little online collab – we just want to play so we did. David Bender thought of a few chords, a melody and played keys,David Grabowski played the guitar, Tim Stahlschmidt drummed the drums, and I bassed the bass, made the…Continue reading Online Collaboration

recording an album with Noah Wunsch
By the end of last year I got asked to work with a rather special artist: Noah Wunsch. He has already done quite a few things from acting, dancing, illustrating and painting, photography over writing to music – and now he wanted to record an album with me featuring only his voice and my guitar.…Continue reading recording an album with Noah Wunsch
Night of the Songs – concert in Flensburg
This February brought another Night of the Songs which I am always really looking forward to to be a part of. Two headliners are invited to play together with the two hosts Richard Wester and Manfred Maurenbrecher and myself: only one rehearsal and then playing their songs on stage – with everybody on stage joining…Continue reading Night of the Songs – concert in Flensburg
the pen is stronger than the sword…
There it is: this wonderful late summer weather we were all so much looking forward to! We got good twenty degrees here in Hamburg – perfect to finally get a pen and staff paper and rush out into the sun – without any instruments at my fingertips – and start a composition. I wanted to…Continue reading the pen is stronger than the sword…
summer feeling at Heaven’s Club Studio
It’s summer in Hamburg – very much so here at Heaven’s Club because I produce an album with production-music in an Ibiza-House-style. The sun is shining, the sand crunches under my feet, the salt on my lips – of course all that in my head – and I nod to the beat – with my…Continue reading summer feeling at Heaven’s Club Studio
recording at the legendary Hansastudios, Berlin
I spent the last three days at the legendary Hansastudios in Berlin, tracking basses for a new production which will be released next January. That was so much fun as before me there were many great colleagues in this studio like David Bowie, U2, Depeche Mode, David Byrne, and many, many more. For different sounds…Continue reading recording at the legendary Hansastudios, Berlin
Back on the block, back on the bass!
Time for a little update after being busy for the last while. Moving lies behind me, most of my stuff has found its place, the studio is ready for action! I was not idle in the meantime – a few gigs (soon more here), session work in my studio (coming up) and now a little…Continue reading Back on the block, back on the bass!
new week, new Klotz-cables!
Ah, what a great weekend: great weather, some fun work – and now for the new week a blessing by Klotz! Thanks André and everybody at Klotz! I love their cables because I never have any problems with them and they deliver my sound the way it is supposed to sound! Will re-do my studio…Continue reading new week, new Klotz-cables!
Iveta Mukuchyan at ESC2016 and one year ago
Last year I produced a little acoustic version of Beyoncé’s “crazy in love” with the great singer Iveta Mukuchyan in my studio (click on the pic to listen to it on YouTube). I already knew her from tracking basses for her own album. Tomorrow she will sing for Armenia at the Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm –…Continue reading Iveta Mukuchyan at ESC2016 and one year ago
film-scoring, arranging strings and horns
Today I am working on a film-score again and am super-excited about Albion One, a new plugin that I got the other day. Great strings, awesome horns, phat percussions! Of course, my bass is never too far and only mentioning it – her? – I feel my fingers itching. As well: I think it might…Continue reading film-scoring, arranging strings and horns
Kellerhertz-Sessions at Birdland with Sebó
Just returned from playing bass for Sebó at Birdland, Hamburg! There were cameras filming all over the place – perhaps I’ll see you on YouTube then? Thank you very much for the great night!
recording with José Valdes
Had a great vocal session in my studio with José Valdes today for a summer song which will be released this spring. I produce it and did not only play the bass but all the other instruments, too!
Nacht der Lieder (night of the songs) in Flensburg
Two days ago I played my basses at the “Nacht der Lieder” (night of the songs) in Flensburg again. It is always heaps of fun to play here since a few acts that have never performed together meet to do so – half-spontaneously with only one rehearsal. Never perfect – but then again it always somehow…Continue reading Nacht der Lieder (night of the songs) in Flensburg
studio fun for summer hit
Having heaps of fun working on a new production, using percussions that I purchased the other day at the Ikea “musicstore”! Do they have that special sound or do I?….
