hi everybody!

long time no newsletter ... so, here it is!

in the past months i was working more in the studio, than playing live.

finally out - the new cd on mikroton: "The Violet Quartet" (with werner dafeldecker, john tilbury and stevie wishart).

out as well - a concert recording of My Kingdom For A Lullaby as part of the Send & Receive Anniversary Box Set.

i sang on tracks for kammerflimmer kollektief and paul baran and produced a radio play called "Börsenkrach" about past and current financial crisis at worm studio rotterdam. it was premiered the 25th of october, the 90th anniversary of black thursday/friday, at radio VPRO in the netherlands and will be released next year on cd.

recorded 3 tracks for the klingt.org anniversary sampler (with Schnee, "The Magic I.D. and with Fernando Perales/ Toto Alvarez/ Gustavo Serpa)

apart from some concerts in argentina, and some with Schnee, Hammeriver and Obliq, i worked on new tracks for "The Magic I.D.", which amongst others, were recorded 2 weeks ago at Amann Studios in vienna and on new pieces for "El Infierno Musical", which will be recorded same place beginning of December, before, while and after playing some concerts in austria (see below).

this weekend has a concert with Schnee, The Magic I.D. and with a special project "Songs Robert sang" with Clayton Thomas and as guests Seby Ciurcina and Fernanda Farrah.

in december my way is one more time to argentina, where i will stay for quite some time.
