“ We never see the same thing when we also hear;
we don’t hear the same thing when we see as well.”
(Michel Chion)
Whether composing music for commercial projects like the
World Expo in Shanghai for TRIAD Berlin, designing stage
visuals for the Deutsches Theater, or working directly on
editing brand films for Deutsche Luft und Raumfahrt, the focus
is always on creating an exciting relationship between what
is seen and what is heard.
As a result of his success in professional and artistic
spheres, he has also been invited to guest lecture for universities such as the Royal College of Art in London and Universität der Künste in Berlin, among others.
He is also the creative director of LEM Studios, a collective of
audiovisual artists and media engineers.
At the forefront of this fertile crossover between sound,
movement and performance, Purfürst is passionate about
creating strong emotional impressions through his work,
whether on independent and commercial projects.
