KleinTones: Music Beyond Categories
The complete channel contains hundreds of videos with original compositions, recordings, art films, historical films and visual experiments.
Music in images
Videos & Music Films
KleinTones has grown into an extensive archive of my music and audiovisual work. Rather than showing only older individual pieces, this page now presents a current selection: music films, art films, historic footage, my own travel images and generative visualisations.
Current work
New musical worlds
2026 has brought several larger projects: Monet, Van Gogh, Caspar David Friedrich, Turner, generative particles, music-reactive fireworks and the new Hamburg film.
