About Me

Musician, Sounddesigner and Composer for almost 30 Years. Beside creating my soundscapes I develop electronic music instruments. Currently I am involved in the development of the Spectralis Synthesizer by Radikal Technologies. Beside the official development work I design electronic circuits for my own needs - mostly FX-units and unusual noise sources to create my own individual sound.

In 1999 after live and studio collaborations with german synthesizer pioneer Klaus Schulze I recorded my first Solo CD "Sonar Experience".

"Beautiful in it’s darkness, perfect in it’s terror. The panic pouring from it attracts the listener from the very first instant; its bleak, confining ambiences, are born from the lowest of sounds and the most distorted effects. Sonar Experience is a quest through fear and the past; a past overcrowded with german sounds and perfect sequences in which textures are varied and twisted to the point that they reach the perfection of a Greek sculpture. Tangerine Dream, Schulze... their style is evoked yet reformulated; adapted to modernity, yet not perverted by it. A masterpiece reminding us that which is creativity: to know the past, mix it up, and from its sum, become innovative." Laura S. García - Amazing Sounds

I am very happy to announce that I was able to source a bunch of these original CDs at a dutch synthmusic direct sales shop. You can order the CD via paypal by clicking the button below. The "sonar eXperience" CD sells for 20 Euro with worldwide shipping included.
