It started with a demo.
TRIPBOX was still a newly founded studio when musicians from Georg Danzer’s band recommended Michael for a quick vocal session. The aim was to finish a demo for the record label. The recording went well, and Georg asked for a rough mix to give the label an impression of the song.
Michael spent the night editing the recordings and making the best mix he could. When the label asked Georg why the demo already sounded finished, the session took on a different significance. What had begun as a brief visit led to recording and mixing the entire album at TRIPBOX.
Persönlich.
Michael recorded and mixed the complete album and also played guitar on selected tracks. Production and arrangements were by Dieter Kolbeck and Stephan Maass, with mastering by Sunshine Mastering.
For Michael, this was his first major production with an established artist — and the opportunity to work with one of Austria’s great singer-songwriters remains a special honour.
Recognition

Amadeus 2005.
Released in 2004, Persönlich received an Amadeus Austrian Music Award the following year.
An important early chapter for TRIPBOX — and a collaboration remembered with gratitude.
