About Felix Hauptmann
Hauptmann’s official site presents him as a pianist and composer based in the Cologne scene. Its project archive documents PERCUSSION with bassist Roger Kintopf and drummer Leif Berger alongside piano-solo work, two-piano recordings with Kirke Karja, and larger groups such as SERPENTINE and OF SHAPES / CURRENT.[1]
The site records Hauptmann’s participation in Stadtgarten’s NICA artist-development program beginning in 2024 and describes multiple PERCUSSION recording phases, including acoustic trio sessions and electronic EP work using synthesizers, electric bass, and drums.[1]
PERCUSSION III, released in 2025, documents the trio’s third full album. Its artist-run Bandcamp supplies complete streaming, a nine-release catalog, and personnel and composition credits that distinguish Hauptmann’s leader work from his other Cologne collaborations.[1][2]
