Time on MARS.

The collaboration began around 2007, during work on Kennzeichen D. Over the years, Michael spent extended periods at MARS, Thomas D’s home and studio base in Germany’s Vulkaneifel, writing, producing and recording together.

Months in the studio and years on tour made this a collaboration that reaches well beyond an individual album.

A place to make music

Studio One.
At MARS.

A familiar room, and a place to return to. Many months of recording and production with Thomas D were spent here.

The work also extended to projects with Roman Lob, Germany’s Unser Star für Baku / Eurovision entry, and Giraffenaffen — children’s songs made together.

On the road

From the studio.
To the stage.

Michael toured with Thomas D for several years, playing guitar and keyboards.

These performances from Stuttgart in 2009 bring that time back to life. Michael also handled the audio post-production and mixing for the concert films.
