Exciting September: I joined the Contemporary Music Theatre Festival for the first time, gaining valuable experience in organizing and running it. 8 venues, many performances, and artists to support. Demanding yet rewarding. I’m grateful for the diverse MTTW team and the insights behind the scenes.

Took part in the Lime Days workshop series @ superbude vienna on (international) tour management, (festival) booking & artist development via playing live. Grateful for the inspiring people I met and the diverse, insightful speakers. So much valuable input!

And if you really want to #support your (local) artists:
🎟 Go to their shows
👕 Buy their merch
💻 Check out #Bandcamp – great for direct support!
They even run "Bandcamp Fridays", where 100% of revenue goes to the artist/label.

I'm switching from Spotify to #Tidal. Not only does Tidal offer ~10 million more tracks, but more importantly: it pays artists ~4x more.
Tidal: ~€12 per 1k streams
Spotify: ~€2.80–€3.70 per 1k streams
It won’t change the world, but it does send a clear message for #fairpay and #respect for artists.

Yesterday and today I attended the Bogenkonferenz at Innsbruck’s #Bogenfest - full of inspiring talks on the festival’s future and bold ideas for the local music scene. Grateful to have met so many incredibly inspiring people! #Innsbruck #Tyrol #localmusic #festival

Example: #Spotify – headquartered in Luxembourg and operating from Sweden – may be European/EU on paper, but its exploitative treatment of artists shows that this origin alone doesn’t guarantee ethical practices.

Just heard the latest Rubato episode (german podcast) on #ludomusicology. Loved the nuanced breakdown of dynamic, interactive, and adaptive music in games. Fascinating how these layers shape the player experience. #gamemusic

Did you know that tablature, like those from apps such as "Ultimate Guitar", predates our western musical notation? Dating back to the 14th century, it's older than our current notation system from around 1600. As a vocal coach, I'm thankful for the variety of modern tablature.
