About Me

At the end of 2004, me (C.W.) and my cousin Tommy thought, that it would be fun to make some music. He had a cheap keyboard and an old tape recorder at home, while I brought my melodyhorn, a typewriter, a GDR massage-device and a few tapes over to his place. We were ready to roll! By randomly hitting the keys, throwing wood all over the place and shooting darts in headphones, we created a wild and new sound, that oppossed every musical convention there ever was. Plus, it made a lot of noise. Over the next months, we rapidly met together in his 'home recording studio', giving musical birth to even more polyphonic creatures from hell, which became much easier with the synthesizer I got for my birthday. Until october 2005, we made 10 albums on tape. Then, in the december of that year, I finally bought myself a digital audio recorder and we could burn the albums on CD. Since then, we produced 13 more albums (almost every month a new one) and the end hasn't come yet, cause there is always a new one in progress. THERE IS NO ESCAPE!
