1994 my first contact to electronic producing were made by me as my cousin rolf showed me on his 368sx-15 a programm called whacker tracker, a 4-line audiosequenzer playing mof-files and a lot of cool features. soon i explored fasttracker that had a sampleeditor and 32 lines and i started to remix and programmed hardcoresong up to 15min length. u've to remember that anny command had to be written in hexadecimal numbers and there were audioeffects included. so i had to trick a lot. i also started dj'ing and bought a lot of records. 1995 i jobed a lot to buy analogue hardware equipment. soon i had my first live gig for a payment of 3 hawai-sandwiches and a bottle of cherryjuice. from this time on i'm playing live. 1998 "the tesla ep" in a limited edition of 200 pieces 12" picturedisc mas made completely by ourselfs. it's sound is describeable a rough as the times were. very direct and analouge. the cd analog experience followed. by this time i quitted dj'ing, cause there were too much out there and i wanted to produce and play live for myself. 1999 i started to work as a free member at the independent magazine heftig. 2000 the eap 02 "holidays en mechico" followed. it was a 12"picturedirc limited to 202 pieces and was again made completely by ourselfs. a homage honouring the last analogue monsters that should be wiped out by cpu's.u-last waren. 2001 i made my practise in the d.a.v.e. gmbh in berlin at the brunnenstrasse. since this time i'm a switcher.. =) and it took a profound process place. i changed my mind from simply analogue sounds to more open combinations of both kinds for generating music. at dave i became acquainted with ulf kaiser from ableton who showed my an early beta of version 1. as a mpc3k user i was fascinated using it up to today. i also got to know aem.aze a very close friend of mine. he managed my first gig at k2 (k--) at former airport preschen, perhaps the most independent project in eastern germany. 2003 pyridin, a cd made with a mpc3k and a lot of difizil things and effectcontrolers. the max of equipment has been reached. 2004 the year starts with greats gig as Jiggy Beaty 1 under euripes largest coalbagger the f60, a radio transmission at mdr/sputnik and so on 2005 anny place u look at became more poor. i made a lot of hardcore- and tribetekkgigs cooperating with format c:.. from xy-constructions and pursuer from cib. i also finished my studies in electronics at fraunhofer institute of mediatechnology at ilmenau. theme: extraction of monophon instrumentalsprases from polyphonic music. 2006 together with my friend matthias frieda, founder of tekknix experimental records and cib in dresden, we made the first two records so far. but theres much more in the pipe. u'll be surprised. so far i'm wathing the bruicks running.../grand A(b)-Tu(r)ner -- u'r a puff
