Life
Von Aster studied art and German literature. Among other things, he works as a director of films and radio plays and as a draftsman for comics and has published numerous texts (including satirical, fantasy, crime stories), some in anthologies . He performs regularly and takes part in readings and workshops; mainly in the black scene , for example at the Wave-Gotik-Treffen . He cooperates on various occasions with Bela B. , Boris Koch and other authors and artists. Together with Koch and Markolf Hoffmann , he launched the reading series “StirnhirnhinterZimmer” and in 2007 published an anthology with texts from this series.
He also operates a Soundcloud presence, where he publishes his own and third-party works.
In 2018 he started a large project on the subject of fairy tales called "Märchen Gestalten Leben", which is growing steadily. So far 450 fairy tale books have been auctioned here in order to explain the meaning of fairy tales beneficially with other authors. These works will gradually be recorded on the corresponding Soundcloud presence.
