Jens Mügge sang in various choirs as a child. At the age of ten, he discovered a simple Jew's harp from Austria in a toy store in his hometown of Osterode am Harz.
He used it to play melodies from traditional folk songs from his homeland. At the time, he did not yet know that playing the Jew's harp is based on playing a fundamental tone and various overtones.
Later, he discovered the didgeridoo and deepened his interest in music rich in overtones. Finally, in 2001, he learned about overtone singing and deepened his love and enthusiasm for the magic of overtones.
In seminars and personal encounters with Reinhard Schimmelpfeng, Wolfgang Saus, Hosoo, Gendos, David Hykes, Tran Quang Hai, Jan Heinke, Christian Bollmann, and Stuart Hinds, he developed a desire to record his own album with overtone sounds. In 2008, this wish became reality. His »Klangmeditationen / Sound Meditations« were created during a live session in a drained water reservoir at the Ökowerk in Berlin's Grunewald district. These sound meditations feature his overtone singing, a tanpura and shruti box from India, a jaw harp from the Altai, a sansula from the Lüneburg Heath, a spring drum from the USA, singing bowls from Nepal, and a didgeridoo from Australia. In February 2011, together with Willi Grimm, he created Soundscapes with Didgeridoo and Overtone Singing in one of St. Gallen's most beautiful churches, St. Otmar Church. Finally, in December 2012, a second solo album entitled »Sound Meditations Vol. 2« followed which, like the debut album, was recorded in the pure water tank of the Ökowerk Berlin Grunewald. Both solo albums are available as download on bandcam.com. The live recording of the concert with Willi Grimm is available for free download here.
During the time Jens Mügge lived in Berlin, he was able to give regular concerts in the Reinwasserbehälter (pure water reservoir) of the Ökowerk in Berlin-Grunewald. Two concerts are documented on Soundcloud. Further concerts can be found on Jens Mügge's YouTube channel. During his time in Berlin, it was possible to give concerts with different musicians. This changed in 2018. In June 2018, he moved to Horn-Bad Meinberg in the Lipperland region. Then came Corona and with it a long break from concerts and musical collaborations. At an art exhibition opening in 2024, he met Werner Galda and they agreed to give a joint concert at the FREISTIl art studio in Bad Meinberg. Another concert followed in 2025, and in May 2026, Werner Galda and Jens Mügge will perform at the 21st Yoga Music Festival in Bad Meinberg.
