In recent years, Bernhard has been more and more curious to expand his horizon, not only on his instrument the bass guitar, but also as a musician and artist in general. Experimentation became a vital part of his daily routine. He has been working with sound, light, visuals and video, exploring their relations and effect on each other. Following you can find some of these experiments.

Workflow on the Octatrack MKII x Music Theory
Bernhard has been working exclusively on the Elektron Octatrack MKII for a while. He is combining his professional background as a trained musician with making tutorials on the sampler, showing his workflow with the device and how to incorporate music theory, e.g. karnatic rhythms.
