About Me

In 1982, at age 11, Martin started to compose music on a tiny Sinclair ZX Spectrum computer that only had 16 KB of RAM! Now, he utilizes a wide range of hardware and software synthesizers when creating music. His style varies from ambient, trance, techno and New Age to "Berlin School" with emphasis on sequenced patterns. Martin loves huge synth pads with massive textures and the vibrant sound from the old analog synthesizers. Currently, he's working on music for a computer game in addition to his own musical projects. Feel free to contact him if you want synthesizer-driven music composed for your movie, television production, computer game or multimedia project.
His interests are: Music, movies, computers, synthesizers, electronics.
His favourite actors are: Jean Reno, Gérard Depardieu, Steve Buscemi, Ron Perlman.
His favourite actresses are: Natalie Portman, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Rachel McAdams, Laura Vandervoort, Sophia Myles, Erika Christensen, Diane Kruger, Emmy Rossum.
