Der Kurator
My first novel. A near future where AI composes, judges and keeps our hearts beating, and a music curator who searches the endless flood for the last traces of human spirit. Geistreich oder geistlos?
Psytrazz
A relaxed chill-psy track and its brand-new official video. Psytrance is a genre AI still struggles with — this was the most usable thing it ever gave me.
Quantenenergie
200 BPM hi-tech psytrance built around one found phone call — cut word by word, stuttered, reversed and glitched. Every sound synthesized in code. No VSTs, no sample packs.
Baller Hits 2026
Volume 3 of the Partyschlager series about the wrong drugs. Made with Suno.
Midi Hero
This was a huge nerdy music project I built.
What is Calmy Jane?
Calmy Jane is an independent Art and IT label founded and maintained by Calmy Jane, committed to creating weird and wondrous stuff.
Make weird stuff.
It's by doing any old thing that you become anybody. Calmy Jane makes whatever seems like a terrible idea at 1 am — and then actually finishes it.
Spread love (mostly).
An ACAB sticker would have been easy. A LOVE sticker was better. Positive messages first — Nazis excepted.
Mind the double standards.
Oktoberfest is culture, everything else is a crime? Heroinfest and Baller Hits poke at how casually we treat booze.
Nerd it until it works.
LabVIEW games, Arduino guitars, Game Boy samplers, AI everything. If it can be hacked, it will be.
Geistreich oder geistlos?
How much human does it take before something is art? Every project here shows how much of it I credit to AI, from 0 (soldered by hand) to 10 (the machine did it). Judge for yourself.

Is this AI-generated?
Some of it. Some of it is soldered by hand, some of it a machine spat out and I picked the best bits — like Leo in Der Kurator. Every project shows its AI score from 0 to 10, so you can decide for yourself what's geistreich and what's geistlos. The blog posts in Thoughts are the exception: 100% human, typos included.
Why all of this?
C’est en faisant n’importe quoi qu’on devient n’importe qui!
The first sticker I ever printed. I created this using GIMP and the Logo was created from a designer on Fiverr. I needed it for my first game, Walking the Wires. This soon got out of hand until it became the Imperium you admire today.
By far the most famous of them and a fun story behind it. This design was originally painted on a sign on the Spruuuuz Festival in Neuses. We were decorating for the festival and painting signs for toilets, bar and so on. At the end we didnt need any signs but still had boards and color, so we painted random ones. This one I painted with a friend of mine. Then after my first stickers I wanted to make one that’s more “artistic” than just text. So I looked through old photos if I find something to play with, found this and edited it in GIMP. The result is this famous sticker that rapidly spread in the sticker community and around my friends.
Though I’m proud of the publicity this sticker has raised, I’m not perfectly happy with it’s message. As mentioned before, I want to spread stickers that have a positive message, and still it’s the one that hates against people that get’s the most recogintion and attention.
Still I think there are worse groups of people to wish bad things to 😉
The original Image I created the Sticker from.
I wanted to spread positive messages with my stickers, an ACAB Sticker would have been easy, but I decided to design this beautiful Sticker. Fun Fact: I drew the hearts with a big Edding (Sharpie) on paper, took pictures and then increased the contrast and duplicated and scaled them.
My first drug related sticker. The “Seepferdchen” (Sea horse) is a patch for your swimming clothes that kids get for doing a swim test. “Schneepferchen” is a variation that means “Snow Horse”. This idea randomly came to my mind, and I recreated the original “Seepferdchen”-Logo from a picture, since I couldnt find a digital version online. Then I modified it slightly using simple paint functions in GIMP. I wouldnt consider myself a painter, and I’m still very proud of how the facial expression turned out.
Who could have known that this starts a series of drug related humorous content.
This rather tough one still is one I’m most proud of. It was drawn by my tattoo artist, but I sketched my Idea as you can see below. The background is quite serious. I live close to the Octoberfest in Munich and once a year this event demonstrates the risks of alcohol consumption like nothing else. Still alcohol is responsible for uncountable deaths and suffering in our society. This sticker should illustrate the irony of peoples perspectives to different drugs.
The hand drawn sketch I gave to my tattoo artist to paint the actual heroinfest sticker for me. Still love the mockup 😀
A good friend had a sweater with this sentence, just had to make a sticker from it. As you can see the style is still pretty simple, all generated in GIMP with no experience at all.
This fun slogan again is part of the idea to spread positive messages. I actually stole this from a graffiti near to my home where somebody sprayed “Fuck Cops” to a wall, and somebody else added the “but gently, and with condom” part. Loved it! <3
This one was in my mind for quite a while since I see it on a club toilet door. The joke was so great I wanted to make a sticker to spread it in many clubs. But I wasnt sure how to design it, so I made some pretty cheap designs I wasn’t happy with. One evening a friend came over and he suggested to just steal some clothing-shops corporate design and after a few bad jokes Balleria Draufhof was born.
One of my first designs for the sticker .. uah .. ugly 😀
After watching Der goldene Handschuh, I got interested in the history of this bar and the related murder case. When I visited Hamburg I randomly passed by the place and decided to have a beer inside. I got talking with the bartender and understood the black humor the image of this place is built on. Down in the toilet, I found the writing “Willy Honka” which is a combination of Willy Wonka and Fritz Honka just to hilarious to not make a sticker out of it.
During the pandemic I started getting into the YuGiOh card game, and played a lot of goat format online. That lead to the idea for YuGiOh themed sticker.
A Sticker I made in the honor of GG Allin, an entertainer from the 80s and early 90s. Loved the calendar saying combination 😉
This is the second GG Allin Sticker I made (that’s enough I think), I just loved the joke and it’s a tribute to @bobojugend, an artist from Berlin who does several stickers with DJ Bobo photoshopped on them.
