The Luminale in Frankfurt is unfortunately over however it was a full succes. If I see the pictures with people waiting up to 2 hours to see what is in, i feel gratitute. The installation is designed by the FH Mainz (interior Design Master) and the HfM Mainz (Music) where I’m graduating for a master in Soundart and Composition. The Objects in the boat sound all differently. Accompanied by a drone composition the installation is experiencable as a hugh string instrument that lights up and reflects the intensity of your impuls towards the strings. The video gives a good representation of the objects and the Interaction mode as the umbrella mode. Press for more info hier/here

Die Luminale ist vorbei. In der Nacht der Museen in Frankfurt am Main am 21.4. sind die letzte Zuschauer von dem Cassian Carl herunter gekommen. Wir aber sind noch immer gut drauf und schauen wie wir die öffentlichkeit noch weiter mit dem Projekt begeistern können. Sowohl die Luminale als auch die Nacht der Museen hat uns viel Aufmerksamkeit gebracht.

Whenever something moves, it’s very likely to have a sound due to the movement. Friction, resistance etc. are the power of sound. In this case I wanted to put it into a painting. Something to put on the wall and be reminded of the sincere expression of this movement. That is why i engineered the first series of sound paintings. It’s a start and as a matter of fact I would love to impose all settings and scenes of kinetic energy
on the wall.

Newest inventions and update of my newest work and plans.
presented in the “20 slides x 20 seconds” format. Check out the website for more information.

When I was making the blackbox at the kombinat > automaten workshop, i started with a old bontempi keyboard. Next to that I found a great designed Uetz suitcase, a classical storage system in Switzerland. In a moment I took off basicly all the mainpart of the keyboard like the keys, but I only left the volume and beat/accomp mix where it was.

Now I got a box that really interests me, cause it sounds everytime quit different, so it suprises over and over. Great for the concerts.

During the 10 x10 -> 11 days in cabaret voltaire I was able to make a bass that has a flexible body and a fixed foot where it can stand on. It sounds very deep and warm through the pick-up element from a guitar. The bass is made out of a bed slat base lying around in the magnusstreet in Zürich. Have a look at the picture.

also in the 10×10-> 11 dada days in cabaret voltaire, I was able to challenge the two guitars together and now they will always stay joined together for a special cause.

the classical side of the guitar sounds like an asian lute, more east.
the rockguitar sounds more like classic rock, more west.

try it out if you have to many guitars. It is a great deal of fun.

this frame looks sad but it is happy, it didn’t want to be a painting.

it just wanted to be a thing for on the wall.
