I made music/sound for the beautiful Michael Ende piece Der satanarchäolügenialkohöllische Wunschpunsch, directed by Ivana Sajevic and premiering on 28th November 2015 at Puppentheater Halle.

The piece mixed 3D animation & multimedia elements, human actors, and puppets, and was played by Franziska Rattay, Sylvia Werner, Nico Parisius and Christian Sengewald.

I’ve made an “album” of the music I made for this piece:
