FRANK

Frank creates a unique soundscape in the transition from noise to music. In 2023, he has arranged his new improv set with hints of melodies, sporadic rhythms and sound structures formed by a variety of analogue sound samples. These are integrated into the digital signals of a no-input mixer. Another element is the Super Resonator. This is a resonator guitar modified by Michael Danner. Driven by a motor, the strings are set into permanent vibration and generate a endless sustain. This leads to a radical change in the sound and handling of the instrument.

Collaborations with with the @pafgens, „Dizzy Moon“ @maryzblue, @beltership, ICNISP @marina_cyrino / @matthiaskoole,  Rieko Okuda, @Zustand D., @Cate Hops and Ida Schuften Juhl @knackere_d have influenced his music with elements of DIY instruments, experimental arrangements, sound art and noise.

„Special thanks to my beloved wife Jo  – @glasambel for her incredible archive of analogue sounds.“

It was the first time that the new instrument, the Super Resonator saw the stage lights. (built by Michael Danner @dumpytart) It is still a work in progress to integrate this new instrument into my set. It’s great fun to work on it. There are still many possibilities to discover.
