About me

Born in 1957, grew in the prairies of bernese lowlands amidst farmland, woods and water.
Then studying for education, following by beeing professor of arts and crafts.
Beside the schoolroom, some further activities as lumberjack, carpenter, founder of art etc.
In the seventieths, I met first time Early music and Early instruments ain folk festivals; the fascination for these will lead to intensemusic making and first steps in instrument-building.
After several years,beside my job as teacher at the high school of Langenthal, this activity begun to be more and more prominent, culminating in promoting the label all’antica.
As musican, for long years I played bassoon in some amateur orchestras and chamber music formations.
As a cornettist, I occasionally participate in projects of Early Music.
But most of fun I have with the bands BALSAMICA and KAMELION, playing free and spontaneous folk, klezmer and blues on cornetto, clarinet, saxophone or trombone.
