Profile Information

About me:
Singing with artists on records was a source of joy since I was a child. Then: the Beatles! I could not get enough of their music and their contemporaries´. When I got a guitar and founded my first band, I was in heaven. We copied the music of our models and composed music of our own.

After having finished high school, I studied Jazz and learnt how to play the piano and some other instruments. For a couple of years, I toured and recorded with various formations.

At age forty, I studied musicology, psychology and American Literature at the University of the Saarland. Being a bad sight-reader, I researched on the subject and wrote a dissertation on it.

In 2004, I met Chris Amrhein and Christian Bollmann, and the world of overtones revealed its wonders. It felt like being home - and it still does. Music, sound and rhythm seem to be a sign of what we really are. Especially overtone music is very strong in this respect, because it leads into silence.

Since then, I have been exploring the world of overtones, and I love to give concerts and courses. I also have been meeting lots of people who I feel in resonance with.

Thank you, universe! Let´s continue the celebration of life!
Instruments:
Vocals, Piano, Guitar, Didgeridoo, Bass, Percussion, Shruti-Box, Singing Bowls, Gongs, Jew´s Harp

Doritz, Paul Freh, Claudiha-Gayatri, Lothar Berger, Hosoo, and many many more.

My students: too many to mention their names. Probably I learnt most of what I know from my students. Thank you all, and Namasté!

Ich wünsche dir viel Glück und Erfolg mit deinem Obertonechor. In Höör versuche ich jetzt eine Obertongruppe zu starten. Wir sind nur am Anfang. Wenige Leute haben sich gemeldet.

Alles Gute!
