Hi
I'm a swiss musician and composer.
Born 1960 in a teacher familie (under control of two older sisters)
This means that learning music begann quite early. My first instruments were recorder and then violin. I liked a lot to improvise not to exercise.
At this age...
I found a acoustic guitar in the cellar. (my first five chords...)My friends founded a band, so somehow I had to get an electric guitar. I began to teach guitar to get the money together. Also my first compositions resulted.
We had success (but no band survived more than three years)
I decided at this age
to study classical guitar. I could compose not only the music for the bands and ensembles but also for different formations and for some musicals.
Then my own family got bigger and bigger...(my wife, 3 children, two dogs, two cats...)
so I took the chance and became director of a bigger music school. I could no more play myself so often anymore. On the other hand, there were many possibilitys to compose for the pupils/teachers/school.
After 21 years leading the musicschool
I decided to go back to the beginning! Being 100% musician and composer. In the last 4 years I could write more then 120 pieces for guitar solo and approximately 50 pieces for guitar duo/trio and other formations.
And there are more ... every week!
