Dear musicians and sound artists,

I’ve been receiving a lot of inquiries lately, asking how I’m doing and whether I have time. Hmm, it’s hard to explain. Two years ago, I started remodeling my studio. However, I suffered a burnout that required a year-long hospital stay. That was in addition to a lot of therapy. On top of that, I also developed a very severe epilepsy, which makes playing instruments almost impossible for me. But I hope things will improve in the summer. I’m looking forward to it.

Please have a good time and be creative.

Kraftamt,

I am so sorry that you have had quite a lot of struggles.
It is my sincere hope that you have a support system in place to ease your pain.
For me, it helps to verbalise what I’m going through to others—I hope that will help you as well.
Please keep us updated within how comfortable you feel sharing.
You are a valued member of our community.
I hope that things will improve for you this summer as well.

With kindness,
