Willkommen ...!
Ich schätze sowohl die Schlichtheit eines Songs (gutes Songwriting, gute Texte) als auch die Komplexität von Kompositionen des modernen Jazz.
Neben meiner Arbeit als (Multi-)Instrumentalist liegen mit das Unterrichten sowie die kreative Arbeit im Tonstudio (Arrangieren, Aufnehmen, Mischen und Mastering von Musik) am Herzen.

I'm afraid this website is mostly in German but feel free to contact me. However, you can find some information in English if you browse through this website. I added English comments where I found it useful.
Please have a look at my video section!
Have You Met Miss Jones?
In this part of my “Swingin’ with a Metronome” series, I’m playing several choruses of “Have You Met Miss Jones?”. The metronome is set to 25 bpm, which I interpret as the 2nd beat of each bar. So the actual tempo is 100 bpm. This performance includes two-beat feel, walking bass lines, and a solo chorus. Transcription included! #timekeeping
If you like to try it yourself, you can use my metronome backing track:
There Is No Greater Love
In this part of my “Swingin’ with a Metronome” series, I’m again combining a two-beat feel with a walking bass line. The metronome is on the 2nd and 4th beat of each bar. Transcription included!
But Not For Me
Make a walking bass line swing! In today’s episode of “Swinging with a metronome”, it’s “But Not For Me”, written by George and Ira Gershwin. The metronome is set very slow to 32 bpm (!), and clicks on the 4th beat of every bar. Transcription of the first three choruses included!
