Offshore Funk-Crometown (Fame video remix) by "Unknown Artist"…
In 2006 this video was posted using original footage from the feature film FAME to compose a video to our song "Crometown" … very cool, we think.
The music is taken from the Offshore Funk album "Crome" I did with Heiko Laux, released on the KANZLERAMT label. We were very pleased seeing this, unfortunately the originator remains unknown up to this day.

West Reemtsma did a follow up of the Sound Circle in 1998 centered around their Formula 1 engagement. Sounds you hear in this one are real Formula-1 driving machines. As fierce and loud as they are, the music should be, always keeping in mind the clubby aspect of it all.

Filmmuseum in Berlin, Potsdamer Platz, 2006
This 20 minute documentary about the history of television in East and West Germany from 1945 until today runs 5 times every day.
The audio mix took place in a room with a ceiling height of 8 meters, walls cladded with 141 mirrors – reflections from everywhere. Challenging environment to mix in … we decided to finalise the production in the very room where the sound is listened to. More on the website of Deutsche Kinemathek.

A critically acclaimed club night in Berlin's hottest techno club "E-Werk" back in 1995. Line-up included the ORB's great Alex Patterson. The great David Moss lent us his voice for some experimental performances. It was repeated in Cologne in 1995 and the line-up included the already famous - and Berlin's own - "Sun Electric", the great Peter Lazenby and the soon-to-become-famous Propellerheads. Everyone remembers their 1998 release "Decks Drums and Rock 'n Roll" featuring Dame Shirley Bassey in "History Repeating".

Ballett: MOVE Staatstheater Saarbrücken
Lush synthesizer saw waves in this ballet music from 2002 for the State Theater Saarbrücken. Movie gives some impressions from the rehearsal sessions filmed by one of the dancers, thankfully. Fine dancer Marguerite Donlon wrote this 2 hr journey and wanted a modern pulsating sound. Check it out. Movie quality is a bit compromised, sorry.
Amazing dancers in this ultra modern 2002 piece of ballerina/choreographer Marguerite Donlon who – up to her move – worked at Deutsche Oper, Berlin. The choreographer wrote this 2 hr ballet evening when she got called to take over the Staatstheater Saarbrücken ballet company. When I was asked to do the music I was inspired by Prodigy and the likes. The Fairlight CMI Series III – which I used a lot at that time – helped shaping some ideas and some good sounds.
