I have been extremely lucky to be an Arvore Foundation recipient since September 2022. Arvore is based in Basel and has been granting living cost supplements to musicians in Switzerland and Germany for almost a decade now. This grant has enabled me to focus on my own ideas and on projects with other musicians I hold dear, but the initial months following their decision to give it to me have been confusing. This was of course a very privileged confusion, as it was caused by a sudden onset of financial relief for the coming four years.

In this video, you can watch, in (broken) German, a tongue-in-cheek interview with me by the lovely Maria Ursprung of Arvore, where I make stupid jokes, word-games, a lot of ironical statements and reflections on my own musical adventure in the past two decades.
