First #PopakademieTalk of the winter term w/Felix from the band #Willman talking about what it means to take a stance as a musician #NowHappening

Vicky O’Neon, Anastacia’s touring drummer and percussionist, just kicked off her master class on hybrid drumming for our #Popakademie drumming students. What an inspiring way to end the week!

Great to be back in #AEC Land for the annual Pop-Jazz-Platform (#PJP) meeting - looking forward to many inspiring conversations w/my European colleagues on #HigherMusicEducation and #PopularMusic & #GlobalMusic

“Wer Anstand hat hält Abstand!”

Once again it's time to take a stand against facism and for #democracy in #Mannheim - especially after #Merz & the #CDU showed their true face & decided to cooperate with the right-wing AfD! ✊🏼 #NeverAgain

The 2nd POPLänd just started in #Freiburg - looking forward to interesting discussions about how to improve pop culture in Baden-Württemberg and especially the focus on #diversity, #sustainability and #night #politics

Finally my article "A Million Voices - Post-Soviet popular music, the Russian-Orthodox Church and the nation-state" has been published
