What is your preferred genre of music to work with?
Basically it´s electronic music. There are no personal boarders between styles, as long as it is good music.
Working at Tresor actually brings back a lot techno influences in my works, but i´m also open to triphop, breakbeat, dnb, ambient, electronica and jungle, or what´s coming up next!?

The Core. – a collaboration between lightingdesigner Rick Kay and a bunch of other creatives from Tresor brings lots of new outputs for visual solutions.
Light to sound?
No, please no random generator. More or less it depends on the persons behind the screens, for me it s about the balanced combination of lights, visuals and music.
Which remuneration would you expect?
Nothing is for free ourdays, but getting a positive feedback in the end – that’s what counts the most!
