Since autumn 2022, several news came up in regard to publications, conference papers and jobs. I’m especially happy that my paper on music and climate change was published in October, as well as a statement on artistic research and musicology.

Furthermore, I presented on AI and songwriting and composition together with my former student at Popakademie Baden-Würtemberg, Björn Tillmann, which will also be published later this year.

In February, I joined the 3rd international conference of the International Network for Artistic Research in Jazz in Vienna and presented on current challenges and future developments.
