About Me



firestARTer aka Thomas Margolf, the self named 'Oldschool-Audio-Nerd' makes music since a lot of years in his bedroom, which is located in the oldindustial city Wuppertal in Germany. Since 1998 he got a good base for his style at micromusic. Gameboys, Commodores and toy-instruments, mixed with modern synth and beats makes the characteristics of his tracks. To put his style into 'schubladen' you could call it Gameboy- or Commodore-Acid. After 2001 there have been some CD compilations, 2 vinyl singles and a lot of MP3 releases of his music.
In 'Live Mode' you can see him playing his songs with a Gameboy and a Commodore 64 on stage.
Beside his music, he is also working on some electronic projects to combine old with new worlds. For example his Gameboy Midi-Interface LSDJMC2 or the Midi-Interface for the popular Commodore64 Software 'Prophet64'.
