I’m especially happy about that I got the chance to mix and master the new album of the project Oberon. Working with a band you have bought CDs from in the 90s is totally something special. I hope that we can finish it this month, too.
– Studio Kalthallen wants to wish all clients and friends a good start in the year 2014! You have been wonderful and I am glad that I could work with such great bands and persons in 2013 once again.

I made new mixes for Eliwagar, mastered an mini album for a childsong composer and am just working on the new Irminsul album, which is absolutely fantastic! On top of their songs they made an awesome cover of Limahls ‘Neverending Story’.
Some more stuff in the pipeline also.

– Under “Clients” you can find some new released albums that I worked on in the last months.
– I got a lot of great feedback on my KALTHALLEN CABS! The highlight was a mail from the Fractal Audio founder Cliff Chase that said:

“I spent the last few days evaluating hundreds of IRs and I have to say that yours are the best sounding ones I have ever tried.”

And this haven’t been empty words, because now 6 of my impulses can be found in the latest firmware of the AXE FX II!
-I spend a lot of time with video lately. For example I produced a music video for my own band HEL.



People that like dogs can also check these videos, that I did for a local dogschool. 🙂
