My work centres around the interaction between various media and
the creative tension to which it gives rise.
Having trained as a doctor, I have also worked on and developed
a parallel interest in audio and video since the end of the 70s.
It began with a pop group called elephant château and has
continued with a sound studio of the same name.
My video background was built up through on-the-job training at
a video studio (1986-92) and I have been writing video scripts since
1986. As a logical extension to my experience in sound and video,
I have been doing more work on the sound engineering side, particularly
on art video productions.
Since the beginning of the '90s, interactive media have been demanding
more attention. Initially in the form of CD-ROMs and later on as
Internet projects.
I am currently self-employed as a sound engineer and musician as
well as scriptwriter and have been working as a consultant and lecturer
at Hyperstudio/HyperWerk, the multimedia institute of Basel School
for Applied Science.
