I have been working on a generalization of swing for over 20 years. Throughout this time, I have conducted in-depth research under different names such as Organic Groove, The Well Tempered Rhythm Machine, Non-Euclidean Rhythms and currently Generalized Theory Of Swing. I have integrated this approach into my playing, composing and teaching at the Jazzcampus in Basel.

The time has finally come to embark on a long-postponed project : publishing my findings on this subject. My intention is to present my research in the form of a PhD dissertation. To accomplish this, I plan to dedicate focused time to delve deeper into the research and address any remaining unanswered questions.

To initiate this process, I have started compiling and creating a mind map of various topics related to my research. This compilation is an ongoing task, as I gradually organize the extensive collection of notes I have accumulated over the years.
