Bio
1957 Spike Jones was the first unforgettable influence. 2 other records played in my early childhood all the Time: Mantovani and Glenn Miller.
With 12 years I was fascinated by Beethovens Synfonies and with 15 years I loved the musik of Lionel Barth.
With 18 years, a psychedelic sound experience with Richard Wright, Nick Mason, Roger Waters and David Gilmour at the Jazz festival in Montreux (18.9.1970) opened new inner doors to my own visions of sounds, and I decided to learn, to build up a musical fundament to become able to bring out my inner soundworlds one day.
My mother and my stepfather were actors. They had put me on stage when I was 9 years old and with 21 years I was a successful actor. That time I realised, that I was living my parents dream, and I decided to live my own. I became an illustrator, started painting and after a short intermezzo as a Songwriter (There is a war, here and now, just look through the window...) I started to study Hindustani Tabla with Asthan Vidwan D. Seenappa and Karnatik percussion with M.A.Krishnamurthy in India for 2 and 1/2 years.
From 1982 to 1984 I studied spiritual songs in the Ashram of Haidakhan Babaji (Himalaya) and in Puttaparthy, the ashram of Sathya Sai Baba, where I continued this studies till 1985.
1986 I married Verena and we started to work together. Our picture books and fairytale books as well as fairytale-CDs for children came out, we did the musik (as well as illustrations, writing, directing).
Our CDs for children won some prices, but they were (as well as our books) produced for the very small swiss german marked only.
1995 I produced a collection of my own spiritual
songs LOBGESANG/PHURO (words by fracis of assisi, jesus christ, haidakhan babaji and sathya sai baba ).
2002 I produced STIMMENTANZ (voicedance ) using the voice to paint sounds (no words to transport meanings).
2003 I came out with my first soloprogramm DHARPHOSCHARS GESANG (My own spiritual songs, improvised voicepainting and percussion).
2004 followed HERR UNSICHTBAR (Mister Invisible), a worldmusic and painting projekt.
(All Soundprojekts since the early beginnings where accompanied by paintings or illustrations.) 2008 I finished TRAUMKLANGRAUM (1999-2008)(dreamsoundroom), a mikrofon surrounded cave, especially precreatet to play and record accoustic sounds and to give the musician a natural, beautiful, inspiring frame.
The last Years I dedicated my time to musik and painting (exhibition 2008/2009). Now we finish a fairytale book projekt and then concentrate to prepare for STIMMENTANZ 2, release autumn 2009.
