About / Biography

Playing for all types of events and with a wide range in the repertoire.

Multiple instruments can be hired to showcase different technologies of mechanical music.

Also can give demonstrations with historical background informations.

With sufficient notice can also custom arrange any music you desire for your event,

but first inquire as there is a good chance I have something already.

Best suited for large outdoor events as a strolling act, such as street markets or international festivals or shop opening.

But also available for Birthdays and Weddings as well as Funerals, etc.

Need an impromptu pipe organ at your church? Can give an entire classical concert!

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

1 Parking spot with convenient un-/loading. No power needed!


What information do you require about a venue?

Entrance and Exit times (that is incl. for Parking)


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I usually do not require any of that. But if needed I can bring lights and a small speaker-system with mic.

Except for bathroom break there is no "inbetween sets" - I play non stop if not requested otherwise

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

I have a career spanning 5 decades. Still: the best gig is always yet to come!
Venue: I guess Swangard Stadium, or the UVIC Foyer


What's your favourite type of event?

My favorite event will always be church concerts. In such a building are just the best acoustics!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I toured with my parents thruout Europe and then started participating at age 4(!) [in words: four]


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Pierre Charial


Where do you get your new music from?

I arrange all the new music myself (with some exceptions) via MIDI, but the rolls are manufactured in Austria!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

As long as parking is convenient, I can be all setup within half an hour - with more gear 45min.
Similar time required at the end.
For events of less then 2 hours there are no breaks; otherwise short bathroom break or a meal inbetween will be appreciated.


Are you happy to perform outside?

YES!


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

I actually prefer to know what type music is requested, as I can prepare accordingly.
For specific songs - if I do not have them in my repertoire yet: please account for at least 1 month notice or it can't get shipped to me in time for your event.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

As "unique", "Reminded of my trip to [insert country]", "An enthusiast who knows all about his craft.", "Wow!"
