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.

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
Mein musikalischer Weihnachtsgruß 2018: “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel”, ein alter Hymnus, arrangiert für Kontrabass.
A traditional Advent hymn, arranged for double bass and played by Tim Teissen.
Season’s greetings and best wishes for the New Year!
Mastered by Tim Teissen
Coming out soon (October 2018): The new album of gulis, a Graz-based alternative rock band with its own unique style of music.
“Just Like A River” is released on Engine Records, also a Graz-based indie label.
I’m happy to announce that I mastered the whole album for CD release. Thanks to the open-mindedness of the band’s members, I was able to achieve a fairly high dynamic range for this album’s music. (For those who are interested: the album’s dynamic range is DR9, and its loudness ranges between approx. -10 and -11 LUFS.)
Thus, I could keep the punch, impact, and the natural dynamics of the band’s performance. I hope you also like the result!
