Five artists compete against each other to win not only the title The Noise of Germany, but above all the hearts of the listeners. The combatants have shaken the horn of wonder of new music and are trying to win over the audience with excerpts from their favourite pieces.
For the New Music Casting Show initiated by the CRISPR.kollektiv, we produced five video clips integrated into the performance as well as a trailer and a project documentation.

The GEGENkino Festival is an annual international film festival in Leipzig since 2014. Working collectively and driven by cinephile passion, it aims to challenge entrenched viewing habits with unusual perceptions. The presentation of film and video art goes beyond a classical screening.
In 2022, the festival screened the Japanese silent film classic A page of madness, narrated live and set to music by benshi Ichiro Kataoka and pianist Reiko Emura. In the preceding panel discussion, the profession as a benshi was discussed, but also the Kataoka Record Project. Kataoka had given his collection of 3900 Japanese shellac records to the University of Bonn in 2012. The worldwide unique collection includes records from the years 1915 to 1950, mainly from the film and entertainment culture of Japan of those years.
We filmed the panel discussion as well as impressions from the live scoring and created a documentary of the evening.

In May 1925, at the height of his career, Alban Berg met the married Hanna Fuchs. His love for her, as hopeless as it is pathetic, plunges him into a life crisis. While his bourgeois façade begins to crumble, the artistic side takes on unheard-of blossoms. Obsessed with the idea that Hanna is destined for him, he weaves the longings he has kept secret into the composition of the "Lyric Suite" for string quartet. Berg works like a master cathedral builder, calculating everything down to the smallest detail in order to encode secret messages in the music: The piece is bursting with coded anagrams, quotations and number games. This only becomes known fifty years later with the discovery of his secret letters to Hanna, which went from Vienna to Prague for almost ten years. Among others, Theodor W. Adorno, Alma Mahler and Franz Werfel served as postillions d'amour.
Guided by the desire to experience this music, thought to be completely cerebral, as an insight into the composer's emotional world, as his musical psychogram, "1023" is more than a classical concert: the audience can expect a cross-media collage. Simultaneously with the performance of the "Lyric Suite" by the Schumann Quartet—"one of the very best formations of the current quartet flowering" (SZ)—the video artist Murat Haschu presents his interlinear version of the music on three projection screens. In addition, presenter Rebecca Maria Salentin will introduce the history of the work's creation and recite from Berg's letters beforehand."

The project MUSAIK. Jazz in Fugen took place on 4 September 2021 as a musical prelude to the cultural opening of the historic prayer rooms at the Marktkirche Halle (S.). As part of the ERDF concept for the renovation and upgrading of the Marktkirche Halle, which is an individual monument and cultural heritage site, the approx. 8 square metre rooms, which can be opened to the outside space on both sides of the church, are being reactivated. After the renovation of the Marktkirche in accordance with the preservation order, parallel to or following the building site period, the connection to the urban space will also be sought in the future through cultural formats and building site art. We filmed the musical opening of the event series.

For the exhibition of the material-based cooperation project mtrl in the Werkschauhalle of the Leipzig Baumwollspinnerei, an exhibition film was created in spring 2021.
In the joint exhibition, the artists from Düsseldorf, Cologne and Leipzig involved in the project relate their sculptural positions, which were developed from different approaches to action. The exhibition examines which interests the individual artists have in certain, often found materials, which strategies they use, and whether attributions such as collage, assemblage, bricolage, or accumulation apply. The spectrum of materialities shown includes mycelium organisms as well as everyday, building, or industrial materials, movement, light, and sound.

For the web edition of the Balance Club / Culture Festival Leipzig 2020 we accompanied the recording of three video DJ sets in front of green screen and realized their post production.
The Festival sees itself as an interface between club culture and social criticism. By interweaving discourse, art and club, it creates the possibility to explore counterculture in its many facets and to enable political debates. Balance is offensive, interdisciplinary, feminist, performative and hybrid.
