I was born 1971, grew up in Einbeck (Germany), later studied jazz drumming with Janusz Stefanski in Mainz, and got a diploma in teaching drums (which I do passionately). I eventually relocated to Wiesbaden, where I'm an active member in the Kooperative New Jazz (ARTist). With my esthetics deeply rooted in 60s/70s/80s euro-freejazz & improv, I play in several freejazz-focussed ensembles, but also enjoy playing more open, fragile and nuanced improvised music on my prepared percussion kit. A few newer projects I'm involved in stylistically cross the line also into "experimental" noisy rock-territory. The avant-punk/no wave/noiserock stuff I discovered in recent years (as a fan) really added some fresh perspective for me.
My playing can be heard on several CDs featuring year-long comrades and occasional collaborators like Georg Wolf, Christof Thewes, Uwe Oberg, Matthias Schubert, Peter Brötzmann, Mark Charig, Uli Böttcher and Olaf Rupp, to name a few.

ensembles that were active within the last two years, and which are still available:
Bloombox with Mark Charig (cor), Martin Speicher (reeds), Georg Wolf (b) (also trio Charig/Wolf/Fischer)
Brötzmann/Wolf/Fischer with Peter Brötzmann (reeds), Georg Wolf (b)
Marcel Daemgen & Jörg Fischer with Marcel Daemgen (electr) & occasional collaborators
Denhoff / Phillipp / Fischer with Michael Denhoff (campanula), Ulrich Phillipp (b)
Rainer Lind & Jörg Fischer with Rainer Lind (g) & occasional collaborators
Lurk Lab with Matthias Schubert (ts), Uli Böttcher (electr)
Speicher / Wolf / Fischer with Martin Speicher (reeds), Georg Wolf (b)
Veit / Prieur / Fischer with Cornelius Veit (g), Eugen Prieur (e-b)
Yahoos with Christof Thewes (tb), Hartmut Osswald (ts), Thomas Honecker (g)
also Jörg Fischer Solo

... looks like a lot of activity, but let's face it: The average amount of concerts per ensemble is at best about 1 or 2 per year (which is no complaint, but an observation).

For infos on my discography, future+past concerts, audio/video-samples & photos, please look around on the german sub-pages of this website (in those departments, the difference between german and english language doesn't matter that much anyway).
