I’m not only a visual artist, I also create experimental music with my band mockART. I formed it as a music project in 2005 by myself. However, I included vocals by some friend in some of the early recordings. From the start I also created the covers myself. However, for the early recordings I changed the cover artwork at some point. In those days I only knew some basics about editing images.

After my career as a visual artist picked up around 2010 I stopped recording music for a couple of years and reactivated the project in 2018. In 2020 Christoph Dorner joined as a permanent member so we are a duo now. However, we still like to work with other musicians and guest vocalists from time to time.

Apart from the cover artwork I also created some video clips for selected tracks which you can on your YouTube channel.

But there also is another way how I have connected my musical and my visual endeavours: In 2022 we wrote a soundtrack for the exhibition views | interrupted which I shared with with painter Sonja Ackermann and photographer Christian Rocas. The music was interpreting the artworks in that show and we got a lot of positive feedback.

For the future we will also plan further projects that mix different art forms with music.
