Work
Wellenfront (ongoing)
Wellenfront is my artistic and musical practice, spanning electronic music, audiovisual work, interactive systems and collaborative performance.
Much of the work grows out of real-time experimentation with sound, graphics and computation. Max/MSP and Jitter are recurring tools and environments within the practice, alongside Ableton Live, physical computing and other custom systems.
The work ranges from music and short audiovisual pieces to live visuals, interactive installations and performances developed with dancers, musicians and other artists.
Current work and experiments are regularly shared on Instagram. Music releases are available through Bandcamp and
streaming platforms.
Wellenfront Max Lab (ongoing)
Wellenfront Max Lab is the educational, technical and exploratory branch of my practice.
It focuses on advanced Max/MSP, Jitter, gen~, shaders, real-time graphics, audiovisual systems and Max for Live. The tutorials are aimed primarily at artists, musicians and creative coders who already know the basics and want to explore more advanced techniques and workflows.
The project grew out of my own experimental practice: many tutorials begin as small technical studies, visual systems or patches built simply to explore an idea. Wellenfront Max Lab turns these experiments into tutorials, patches and reusable resources rather than letting them disappear on my hard drive.
Tutorials are published on YouTube, with patches and accompanying resources available through Patreon. The archive is intended as an open resource; paid membership is optional and supports the continued development of the project.
