mixing / producing / drums

Versatile producer, mixer, and drummer with a distinctive sonic signature — blending deep technical expertise, decades of band experience, and an intuitive feel for experimental, pop and left-field music.

I’m a producer, mixer, and drummer based in Cologne, working at the intersection of experimental pop, left-field music, classic band-oriented production, and a wide range of electronic music styles. My primary services are mixing, full-production support, and drum recording — both in-studio and remote.

With more than two decades of experience as a musician (Von Spar, Dumbo Tracks, Urlaub in Polen, Die Sterne, Cologne Tape), as a mixer, producer and engineer (The Field, Stephen Malkmus, Thomas D, Andreya Casablanca, Coma, Laetitia Sadier, Luis Ake, The Robocop Kraus, and others) ans as drummer (Owen Pallett, Scout Niblett, The Field) I bring a hybrid skill set: technical precision, musical intuition, and a deep understanding of arrangement, groove, sound design, and the emotional arc of a song.

I specialize in warm, detailed mixes, performance-driven drums, and productions that balance clarity with character. In addition to my work as a musician, I teach production and mixing at the Folkwang University of the Arts, keeping me in constant dialogue with new techniques, aesthetics, and workflows.

If you’re looking for someone who can elevate your track — musically, sonically, and structurally — I’d be happy to hear from you.

Sure, ChatGPT helped write this — which mostly shows I’m open to new technologies and shortcuts.
