Reichenhall – Café Morgenstern
Looking at the Kottbusser Tor roundabout from space, you can see a star-shaped structure. A caravan of musicians follows the smell of freshly baked baklava. Café Morgenstern appears before them in flickering light. As they enter, they disappear into the mist. The sound of a sewing machine fills their ears. Like free radicals, they make their way. They push open a skylight, look up at the night sky, and hear radio transmissions.

Magnet
Bernhard Wöstheinrich’s Magnet is not only about being a showcase of how vintage gear and current electronic sound production technologies can merge. It is an epic musical statement with a physical presence.

Cheruscian Stag God
Bernhard sometimes refers to himself in jest as a descendant of the Cherusci, Christine has painted him a picture of a pagan stag god. The Cherusci described themselves as deer people.

B-Dubs – A Compilation
FOREWORD
“Here is a compilation bringing together a few pieces of the huge and eclectic oeuvre of Bernhard Wöstheinrich. It’s curated by yours truly, Jean-Philippe Rossi (heart and brain of the Unquiet Music Ltd. project)
Some of you might know that my own music may not have existed without the big impact of me meeting Markus Reuter a few years back; but on the same occasion, I also met Bernhard and found out about his music. I was immediately attracted to his unique blend of electronics, atmospheric compositions and extended pieces, which dragged me into a totally unknown world.
How Bernhard brings this music to life remains a mystery to me to this day.
The series of pieces I have selected and edited here are an attempt to collect and contact some of this mystery. Arranged and sequenced according to my own taste and fantasy, they also happened to loop into my mind with a strange set of visions – unfolding landscapes and surreal events – that I tried to lay down in writing as they came together while I listened to the music.
For those who do not know Bernhard’s music, here is my attempt at setting you up to be transported the same way that I was.
For those of you who do, here’s another trip through this universe of sound and its way of interwining the self-evident with the transgalactic.”

A new Painting
I’ve resumed my art practice of the “annual oil painting”
These oil studies are a parallel to my music journey. Amid diverse material and color trials, oil on canvas remains my preferred mode. Unlike music and design, my paintings never really came to the fore.
See my complete painting oevre here
Presenting “Radius 1,” my 2023 piece. More variations on this motif can be expected, as circular forms recur in my work anyway. I embrace simplicity in shapes and compositions, even in canvas shape; so, most of them have a square shape, which still seems unusual for some.
This current painting and some more are available as art prints
(click here!).
Infuse your space with fresh vibes, supporting my artistic journey.
