The production of electronic sounds is still very young and topical, nevertheless, historical archiving took place as a result of the rapid technical development. The diverse pieces, here collected, show the different creative possibilities of the new technology: sound synthesis, pitch alteration and vocal editing and their mixture in collages of sound. Often you can no longer discern the source nor the mode of production. The classical differentiation of the sound world returns to an almost chaotic variety of possibilities.
By publishing the digital archives in the Web, the sound world becomes global and shows herein the universality of the physical sound system and its possibilities, which have natural causes.
The CDs and DVDs listed here, produced in my private studio, contain recordings of organ improvisations on classical instruments as well as excerpts of studio work and electronic music demonstrations. Many of the instruments and programs with which these productions were made are no longer manufactured and are in the process of disappearing, so these recordings have special value as documents for posterity.
After 30 years of work with electro-acoustic largely computer-controlled means, it is certainly appropriate to write a quasi "biography" of this period. This is here the series of "retrospectives", which is a mixture of instruments, spaces, dates of origin and styles. Some clarity has dwindled, what remains is a quasi-naked impression of a 30-year sound production as mentioned above.
Please note
The CDs and DVDs are studio productions that are not commercially available.

This archive contains pieces or parts of pieces compiled in series. You can get an impression of the rich variety of electronic music with regard to the history of the object as well as to the person.>> Archiv I: Series
This archive in progress will contain great part of the work of a lifetime, making it open to the public. The pieces of this archive were originally recorded with 8 tracks on the DA 38 / 88 of Tascam, arranged in chronological order.>>Archiv II
This archive will become a library of electronic music recorded on DAT. The pieces produced in the course of circa 30 years are either original stereo recordings or tape compositions. The selected pieces are numerically arranged not chronologically.>>Archiv III
In addition to the organ pieces of other archives, this archive contains improvisations and modifications of organ compositions of classical works not conceptualized for organ. They demonstrate how you can modify the structure and sound of given pieces and they play compositions for orchestra with the sound of an organ. The improvisations should enable you to hear as well as the diversity of the tone colours of an organ, classical and “denatured”. The productions in this archive are an attempt to approach the new reality of virtual organs and to enhance them by the actual technology whose results may sound strange at first. Additional texts should make access easier.>> Archive IV
This archive contains stereo mixes from the estate of productions that were originally recorded on 6-channel music cassettes with the Sansui WS-X1 in the years 1987 - 2014. The pieces presented here also show a broad spectrum of possibilities for creating sounds and shaping sound processes with the new technologies. The individual pieces have been given titles according to the available notes.>>Archiv V
This archive contains stereo mixes of 8-channel recordings on music cassettes (Compact Cassettes) from the estate, dating from 1990 onward. The original recordings were made primarily with multichannel recorders from Tascam, Yamaha, and Fostex; some were recorded live, while others were arranged on a computer and underwent a metamorphosis. The titles of the pieces were mostly derived from the notes accompanying the individual cassettes. Many recordings that do not meet today’s technical standards are also included here if they have artistic value or serve as a document of music history by demonstrating the possibilities of sound design using electronic means at that time.>> Archives V MC 8
A large number of productions found in the estate were stored on MiniDiscs, a system of devices and storage media developed by Sony that allowed for the recording and playback of pieces with up to 8 channels. A small selection of these works - metamorphoses or mutations of classical compositions, sound sequences, and improvisations on instruments popular at the time - is now being released in Archive VI. The notes accompanying the pieces were used to title them.>> Archives VI MD 2-4-8
