The organ was the first instrument I ever played and thus the starting point of my musical journey. For a long time, it was my one and only, the focal point of my musical life, which ultimately led me to study the organ.

What fascinated me from the outset was not so much the sheer sonority that many people associate with the organ, but rather the endless fascination of the different timbres and combinations. Registration is a creative act in itself—the possibility of creating completely new, orchestral worlds through the choice of stops is unique. Especially for me as an improviser, it is a great source from which I can draw inspiration.

Every instrument is different—a new challenge. From historical Baroque organs to modern instruments, every organ has its own soul, its own expression, and its own touch. This forces you to adapt and teaches you humility in the face of the instrument's complexity. The organ is traditionally closely associated with sacred music, but over time I have been able to separate the organ from its sacred meaning in my mind and in terms of content. This has a lot to do with my spiritual development.
