Producer and administrator of Harry Pepl's musical estate and operator of the label Fullmax Recordings. Documented credits are the mix, mastering and production of the 2015 double CD, the mastering of “Live at Miles Smiles” (2003), the production and remastering of “Live in Concerts” (2009) and the production of the album “Live” (2025). Already during his father's lifetime he was his sound engineer: from 1995/1996 until 2005 he assisted him in the home studio in Hernstein, Lower Austria, with recording, mixing and mastering, which Harry Pepl then did himself, also during the period of the Lonely Single Swinger Band; at the time he was living at home, studying in Vienna and exploring music production himself. In the booklet of “Flow” (1996) he is credited for editing.
