Hello, welcome to my website and BLOG! For the last several decades I have been focusing on contemporary music practices and the poetics of interpretation. My most recent passion has been exploring electronic composition combined with improvisation. Currently,
I am flutist of the Cologne-based Ensemble Musikfabrik, coach for our youth ensemble Studio Musikfabrik and the European Contemporary Music Workshop (Warsaw), guest professor for the academic year 2022 – 2023 at the Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music in Riga, and Guest Faculty at the Lucerne Festival Academy.
