zen jazz (2000-2001)
A music CD with contemplative jazz-lounge
Instrumentation: for piano, saxophone, trumpet, didgeridoo, transverse flute, guitars, keyboards, drums, percussion, sampler, noises, sound design
Large, empty rooms, minimal melodies in memory of the Miles Davis culture and lots of silence. Five deliberate compositions bound by four artificial wind voices as a counterpoint to our loud and hectic world. The association to Eastern Zen philosophy exists in a musical translation of such values as silence, room, moment and consideration. ZEN-jazz is music to think about, to reflect, meditate and enjoy. "Music that creates a warm room – for a considerate moment with oneself.

HEADROOM (2005)
A city-sound intervention in the public sphere
Instrumentation: sound collages, voices, noise collages, synth, sampler
Texts: Peter Philippe Weiss
'Headroom' is a multi-dimensional, multi-channel-controlled artistic sound installation in the middle of the city of Basel. An installation of previously unheard authenticity, intensity and quality owing to the ca. 120-hidden-speaker, 30 000-watt-power composed sound world in the adjoining alleys of Gerbergasse, Gerbergässlein Pfluggässlein.
Headroom constructs sensuously intensive aural worlds, tears the room apart and allows impossible and surprising situations and actions to occur that do not correspond with the perceived environment, but are non-the-less sensed as hyperreal, as 'reality' in the heads of passers-by.
