About Me

Maniac? Me? Yes, I must admit I have been called that more than once in my live. And I can not totally rule out that I am indeed a complete weirdow but in a positive way, I would like to add.
My life mainly revolves around music, the pinnacle beeing my bands Rozencrantz and Shizuko , which are both also present here on myspace. Beside being the bassplayer to both bands I also write lyrics and compose songs, mostly in teamwork with other band members.
A few years back we as a collective of artists decided to widen our horizon and liberate ourselves from the need to book a studio all the time by founding our own "StarShipStudio" , which is mainly run by me when it comes to the technical aspects. Right now, in early 2008 we are moving the studio into new rooms.
And even though I earn my living maily from being a programmer and grahics design freak, there is other ways to spend my time. I am an A&R and Promoter for a couple companies in Germany (COMUDEX, Danse Macabre ). I am also part of the staff and the webmaster of the German music magazine negaTIEF . And if I really feel bored (*yeah, right*), I can still toil around my own webzine Schwarze Seiten . Both mags are also present here on myspace, just check my TopFriends below.
Enough about what I do, and more about what I think. Judging from my experience the only thing ever that matters in your live is people. Of course the first few that come to your mind are your family and friends, and there is no doubt that these are the most important ones, but touching people's souls is a wish that expands much further. I am intrigued by the possibilties that art and music offer. Creating the one little thing that makes somebody's day just a little bit special fills me with pride and gives my existence a meaning. I want to reach out and pick the crowd up! Hopefully someday I will have a chance to make your day just a little special.
Until then. Yours truly, Horatio

On stage again ...finally!

It's always the same for a band. Once you start writing new material you yearn to present it on stage, but often, as it was in our case you need to wait until everything is done. Songs tend to change ...
