headcleaner started with electronic music around 1986. Influenced by Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode the first tracks were only simple sequences programmed on a Casio CZ5000 with integrated 8 track sequencer. The first digital drum machine was the popular Yamaha RX 21. In the very beginning the hardware was expensive but over the years more machines entered the studio. A big step was the Atari ST in the studio environment. Then the first samplers were available and in 1995 the first harddisk recorders and Windows PC based recording solutions came up. Some years ago the PC performance allowed to use virtual instruments and a complete fully automated studio environment. What a development in electronic music and music production.
The nick name "headcleaner" was given to Kai Holburg during recording sessions for a "paniczone-production" in 1992 while cleaning the DAT-recorder with a cleaning-tape.
Kai Holburg is the former third member of "endanger" founded in 1998.
After leaving endanger during preparations to the second release "eternalizer", two headcleaner tracks were published on this album ("No Transmission" and "My Belief") written in cooperation with the singer.
In 2004 the project "sufferhead" was founded together with former singer Oliver Spring from the Swiss band "sleepwalk". For more info please visit http://www.sufferhead.ch.vu
The first sufferhead tracks were recorded and produced at Burlington Towers Studio in Burlington, Canada.
