"Aichinger sammelte Granden wie Vincenz Wizlsperger, Paul Skrepek ("Kollegium Kalksburg") Richard Klammer, Martin Zrost ("Trio Exklusiv"), den einstigen Ober-Knödel Christoph Dienz und die holde Bratschistin Petra Ackermann, um jazzige Ausfahrten von der resignativen Autobahn der Wienerlied-Lieblichkeit zu suchen. Das gelang nur bedingt." among many others. Together with Kristine Tornquist he wrote the opera "Das Totenschiff", which premiered in 2018.
