I am a Berlin-based musician, DJ, and producer with a background in Musicology and years of experience in composition, performance, and music education. My musical journey began with classical training at the age of 10, later evolving through alternative rock and into electronic and ambient music production. Alongside my work as an artist under the name ACIDG, I am deeply interested in the emotional and cultural dimensions of sound, especially the use of traditional modal systems and atmospheric storytelling in music. With experience in both acoustic and electronic composition, I am passionate about blending traditional musical languages with contemporary cinematic and ambient textures. I value authenticity, careful listening, and collaborative creativity, and I would be excited to contribute musical guidance, feedback, and potentially recordings to a project focused on global musical traditions and introspective sound design.
