When I was 14 years old, there was a sudden explosion of music in my mind. I started to play the guitar.
A year later I played in a band and several others were to follow.
From the moment I began to make music I was always writing my own songs, which somehow always failed to fit the sound we made with our bands (mostly because the songs were not meant to be played by those bands).
After the second band split up, I had the idea (or maybe someone else had it for me I don't really know any more) to start a solo-project, were I could play my quiet songs.
At about the same time two friends of mine started what has now become the Cardio Club ( cardio-club.de , myspace-site ) and they were looking for something they could release on their label.
By some lucky accident (or maybe just because of the sheer pressure I applied) they chose my project, which by now had got the name „Speaking Silences“.
The first gigs in Passau, the town where I grew up, followed pretty soon and in 2006, with the help of two other friends, I recorded my first album, a nine-track-collection called „Cold Eyes“, which was released in March 2007 on the Cardio Club label and can be ordered at x-mist.de
Up to now I played quite a few gigs among them support for bands like Zookeeper, Downpilot, Mi' and Lau or Schwervon!.
Currently I'm working on a second album, demos of which can be listened to here.
