About me

Winterthur, Switzerland

I play mainly clarinets and saxophones, compose music in jazz, global and pop music. I worked with a lot of people in Europe and the US. Current project: Sandman's Calling feat. Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz, Mathias Künzli and Guest Julian Sartorius.
Besides music I'm a social worker with focus on childhood/youth and methods of the community arts, I'm working as a lecturer in community music and father of two kids.

My Blood is a Sea, the Ship My Body

Speech and movement are key agents to change. As someone trapped not able to return to a war-torn homeland where ongoing conflict and taboo discussions lead to death. Nor find refuge elsewhere without facing perilous paths. War has irreversibly altered the lives of countless people, yet we lack the means to advocate for change through speech or action. The ships of many of us are anchored to the shores of our homeland in a sea of our blood. Our song speaks for those deprived of freedom of expression and movement. Technical support: Utku Gürler.
