Starting as early at the age of five, the charme of historic audio recordings
and vastly unknown formats has always fascinated me. For 15 years now I
have specialized in phonograph cylinder records and their huge variety.
As
a skilled technician and studied business lawyer I am working in the
branch of medical technology and business consulting.
The esthetic
appearance of long-gone technology and the possibilites of today's
digital audio restoration and preservation of our cultural heritage
have become a true passion. In association with fellow collection we
are developing a versatile and modern playback system für cylinder
records.
The perennial experience in recording live
performances of classical music and jazz have created a safe basis for
my work with historic recordings.
Especially pre-1900 and late 1920s
recordings are in my focus. I furthermore produce radio programs at
irregular intervals and contribute as a technical advisor for cine film
productions.
Other related projects of mine are the digitization service GeneralTransfer
and Germany's currently only label for cylinder records, The
Berlin Phonograph Works.
