I started my new band „M“, feat Kalle Kalima on guitar, Paul Kleber on bass, Hans Otto ond drums and myself on pedal-steel guitar, baritone guitar and a bunch of other stringed instruments. We recorded last year and will release a double album in 2025 on XJAZZ! Music. We are going to premiere the music on June 26 at Musikinstrumente Museum Berlin (MIM). The music is based on and inspired by compositions of Olivier Messiaen, although it took a far left turn from there:-)
