The exceptional pianist Danae Doerken and I are embarking on a project infused with the essence of Philip Glass's music. By May 2024, we're in the studio, preparing. From autumn onwards, our tour extends into 2025.

Pascal was immensely pleased to have recently recorded a new solo EP at the renowned Funkhaus Berlin - Studio 3. The EP features two original compositions by Pascal, along with interpretations of two Philip Glass compositions, signifying a crucial juncture in his artistic journey. The accomplished Terence Goodchild directed the session, adding yet another strong asset to this new adventure. Further information will be provided shortly.

Last summer I devoted some time to imagining how to translate the reflections and different faces of a prism into music. This was a serious challenge I must say. The outcome of these explorations is available on all platforms and in spring there will be a vinyl. Thanks to the friends of the Goldmund Quartet for the commission and their talent and Neue Meister for the ongoing support.
The other good news is that in a couple of weeks Prismatica will be released on vinyl!
ARTE, the french-german television channel broadcasted a Portrait of Pascal in their show TWIST, presented by . The show was about the force of the night (Die Macht der Nacht) and Bianca Hauda interviewed a couple of interesting artists about how the night affects their work. Super interesting show.

Pascal is happy to announce a brand new collaboration with Magnificent Matter. Magnificent Matter is a Berlin based collective creating abstract and cosmic worlds under the lense of a microscope. Their explorations dive deeply into the realms created by nature itself, discovering the recurring patterns our micro and macrocosmic reality is constructed of. Ranging from Live Vj Sessions, over audiovisual installations up to fine art prints, they are always on the look for a more authentic experience that represent and honor the beauty of our planet and beyond.
Beside creating together with Pascal a complete set of immersive visuals for Pascal's live performances, Magnificent Matter also directed the Official Music Video and the cover artwork for Pascal's latest single By This River by Brian Eno.
Fanny Opitz interviewed me a couple of months ago in the studios of SWR 2 in Freiburg im Breisgau. We discussed classical music, vibraphone, composition, improvisation and much more. On top of that we even played some unreleased tracks.

I am truly excitedt to be touring Luna again this autumn. I hope to see you here or there!
