Autumn Update
With the beginning of autumn comes some exciting concerts and projects: we are releasing the third studio album with AHL6 on September 19th, 2024 called "What happened to Eternity?" via Waschsalon Records (cover see below) and play an album release concert at Porgy&Bess Vienna the day before! A week later, the Wednesday Night Prayer Orchestra continues into the new season, which runs until shortly before Christmas (dates: visit LIVE). In October we will once again perform "extended" with znap with reinforcements from Silke Eberhard, Lorenz Raab and Martin Bayer. I'm really looking forward to all of this and hope you'll be there at one or two concerts!

Spring Update
A lot has already happened since the beginning of this year. In February there was a great tour with Aufmessers Schneide that took us to Hagenberg, Passau and Salzburg. Afterwards we recorded the third studio album with AHL6 - more on that soon. There was also the homage to the ORF Big Band with the Wednesday Night Prayer Orchestar and the Ö1 Radio Session with Enfleurage. Both turned out to be cool and you can listen to them on Ö1. As some of you have noticed, I am no longer part of the band INTRA. After 8 years of intensive collaboration, I decided to leave the band. On April 19th, 2024 I join them to play a few songs in Arena Vienna and say goodbye to the band as well as hand over the sticks to the new drummer Leon.

February 23
Wow, 2023 starts with a lot of different stuff. First I´ll be playing some standards with the great Peter O´Mara and my friends Philipp Wallner and Federico Perinelli at good old Smaragd Linz. Then I´m gonna play all of my "too-sweet-for-the-other-bands-tunes" with some great musicians (Stepan Flagar, Katarina Kochetova & Anna Reisigl) at zwe Vienna - very rare occasion; might not happen again! And then I´m gonna continue with some Big Band gigs with the recently founded "Wednesday Night Prayer Orchestra" at Little Stage Vienna.
Would be very happy to see you guys out there! ;)

New Project: Enfleurage
"Enfleurage" is a new bandproject with gorgeous musicians Anna Anderluh and David Gratzer!
We did a spontaneous recording session in one of the previous lockdowns - without compositions or any plan. After all we liked the recorded improvisations so much that we decided to make an album out of it. Watch this performance video for the track "Desio Park" to see/hear what we are doing in this project.
Thanks to Maz Vafaei, Martin Siewert and Cosma Bailalo! Further info coming soon :)
