ABOUT |

I AM THE BASSENGER…and I ride and I ride…

My deconstruction of Iggy Pop’s classic. Recorded LIVE in 2015.

My solo project The Bassenger started out in 2008 and has developed from experimental soundscapes and poetry to a more holistic concept. Over the years I have encountered innumerable amazing people who have inspired and encouraged me to experiment with other media than music. I have started to write again, and my novel Schuhfabrik bleibt! was published by Glitzer & Grind in 2025.

The early days…2009. Please note that the BIG pedalboard belonged to someone else, at that time I only used a tiny multiFX which you can see in front of my right foot. Photo by Katrin Bruder
