Jan. 2013 - Eric Schaefer’s new album
I’m happy to announce that Eric Schaefer’s record „Who’s Afraid of Richard W.?“, on which I played the keyboards, will be released by ACT records on January 25th.
It’s a quartet album of great sonic variety, drawing on the works of Richard Wagner - further collaborators being Tom Arthurs (tp) and John Eckhardt (b). The recordings took place at the famous Hansa Studios. After all, this year it’ll be Wagner’s 200th birthday, so hopefully we’ll get to play a couple of concerts in an appropriate context ;-)

May 2012
This month, Projekt Rhinow will be featuring vocals for the first time - special guest Lisa Bassenge. 26.5. @ Out Of Nippon Cafe
Due to the ever increasing gentrification, I’ve been forced to relocate my studio!
Had to move out a little bit from PrenzlBerg to Pankow. Instead of an old loft, I’m now residing in a GDR-Style concrete block instead of an old loft (like I used to). Interesting: I just found out that it formerly belonged to the headquartes of the STASI (the GDR’s infamous German Secret Service). Maybe I should rename to STASI Studio...? Or maybe not ;-P
