AMBIENT & MORE

About Me

Für Freunde der deutschen Sprache:
Ich produziere seit 1993 elektronische Musik und bin seit ca. sechs Jahren Mitglied (und Produzent) des rheinhessischen Artrock-Trios B4 SUNRISE.
Mein musikalischer Schwerpunkt ist Ambient.
Von hier aus erforsche ich neugierig andere musikalische Gefilde, manche benachbart (Dance, Drum and Bass, TripHop, freie experimentelle Elektronik), andere weiter entfernt (Jazz, Pop, Artrock, Metal, Folk).
In den vergangenen zwölf Jahren habe ich 85 Alben produziert (z.T. mit Gastmusikern). Einzelheiten über die Alben gibt es im Blog "No Single Single".
2002 wurde mein Album "One Thirty Eight" recht wohlwollend von dem Musikjournalisten Albrecht Piltz für die Zeitschrift KEYBOARDS besprochen.
Meine Alben sind z.Z. auf Anfrage zum Selbstkostenpreis erhältlich (Kontakt bitte über myspace) - wobei ich die genauen Versandmodalitäten noch austüfteln muss. Es soll aber jeder eines haben, der eines möchte...
Beruflich arbeite ich als Diplom-Grafikdesigner bei einer kleinen, aber feinen Mainzer Druckerei (www.druckerei-linde.de). Ich bin glücklich verheiratet und Vater einer zehnjährigen Tochter.
Lingua Franca*:
Hello to everyone (and every two, too)!
I started producing electronic Musik somewhere in 1993. Also, I've been a member (and producer) of the Artrock-Trio B4 Sunrise for about six years.
My musical focus lies on ambient.
From this point, I´m exploring other musical areas, some closer to the genre like Dance, Drum and Bass, Trip Hop, or Free Experimental Music, some more distant (or maybe more conventional) like Jazz, Pop, Artrock, Metal or Folk...
Over the last twelve years I have produced 85 albums (some of the tracks with musical guests). Information about my albums You find in the blog "No Single Single".
In 2002 my album "One Thirty Eight" was reviewed quite mercyfully by music-journalist Albrecht Piltz for the German KEYBOARDS-magazine.
If You are interested in ordering one (or more) of my albums (for a more or less symbolic charge), You can send me a message via myspace - I still have to figure out how I´ll manage the distribution, but I will let You now in a short while.
Jobwise, I am designer (and printer, actually) in a small but fine printing-shop in the city of Mainz (www.druckerei-linde.de).
I am married (and very happily so, if You like to know...) and father of a ten year old daughter.

ECM-Jazz (e.g. Keith Jarret, Jan Garbarek, Nils Petter Molvaer)

Medieval Music (e.g. Hildegard v. Bingen)

Indian Musik

(and most of all Klaus Schulze !!!).
Sounds Like: Some listeners of my stuff were reminded of some tracks of the these artists:
David Bowie (esp. Outland), Brian Eno, Mouse on Mars, Underworld, Aphex Twin, Massive Attack and more recently Wolfram Spyra...

But You can judge Yourself (and tell me, if You like...):

You..ll find a little player in the Blog (More Music!) where You can find a couple of my tracks (from 1997 to now, one for each year). No really "Best of...", I think, but I still like them. I..m going to update the playlist each month, so if You enjoy this ones, You can come back from time to time and find some more.

I like this, too:

Record Label: unsigned (Selbstverlag)
