Exploring improvised music and contemporary classical

Juergen's musical journey exemplifies the rare combination of classical mastery and contemporary innovation that defines his work today. Beginning his professional career at 17, he quickly established himself in Munich's vibrant music scene, earning the opportunity to perform in Ray Charles' opening act – an early indication of the exceptional career to follow.

His pursuit of musical excellence led him through some of the world's most prestigious institutions. After intensive professional training at Bass School Munich, he studied at the renowned Sweelinck Conservatory of Amsterdam, followed by specialized training in Paris under Joelle Leandre, celebrated collaborator of John Cage. His academic journey culminated in a Master of Music degree from SUNY Purchase, New York, where he studied under luminaries including Scott Colley (Herbie Hancock, Jim Hall) and Jon Faddis (Dizzy Gillespie, Carnegie Hall Jazz Band).

As a performer, Juergen has graced the stages of legendary venues across the globe, from New York's CBGB's and Knitting Factory to Amsterdam's Meander and Munich's Unterfahrt. His versatility as a musician is evident in his work across genres, from symphony orchestras to experimental theater, jazz ensembles to contemporary productions.

In 2002, he founded ORkAaN Music+Art Productions, establishing himself as a innovative force in music production and publishing. His work for television includes creating soundscapes for "Wetten, dass...?" (2003-2007), Europe's largest live TV event with an average viewership of 15 million. Recent years have seen him leading major cultural productions, including serving as Musical Director for several successful theatrical productions at Haimhauser Kulturstadl, each drawing audiences of over 2,400.

His current work extends beyond traditional boundaries, encompassing everything from theater compositions to innovative urban music projects. As an Artist Participant and Audio Consultant for the European Commission's New European Bauhaus NEBourhoods project (2023-2024), he continues to push the boundaries of what music can achieve in various contexts.

Throughout his career, Juergen has maintained a commitment to education and community engagement, leading workshops, teaching privately, and producing musical projects with children through organizations like Horizont e.V.

Today, he brings this wealth of experience to his composition and production work, creating bespoke musical solutions that combine artistic excellence with commercial awareness. His unique background allows him to understand both the creative and business aspects of music, making him an ideal partner for clients seeking sophisticated, original compositions for their projects.
