about

A much darker tone dominates this second Volume of the "Theater am Ring"-scores: Was it in Volume One the unburdened atmosphere of comedy plays, which the music tries to phrase, it is now the heaviness of misfortune and fate in two canonical dramas: "The Robbers" by Friedrich Schiller and "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare.

The music of the "Theater am Ring"-production "The Robbers" from 2009 is kind of jumping between the styles: on the one hand the modern sound with electric guitars and rock organs, and on the other hand the classical tune (for track 8 definitely inspired by Beethoven). I used this style mixture to illustrate the the differences between the two main characters of the play: Franz of Moor, who still lives in his father's bourgeoisie, and Karl of Moor, who founds with his friend Spiegelberg in Leipzig a "robber band", how they call theirselfes. The play is constituted by this difference between "old" and "new", bourgeoise and revolutionary, and so the music has to be too.

Composing the music for the production "Hamlet", which premiered in 2010, I had help from Max Christian Schulz, a dear friend of mine, who himself composed many themes for the play. So the tracks, in which I wasn't included in the writing or recording process, are not part of this album.
