About Me

= Download my free tracks at last.fm !

I'm having fun with any kind of music since I can remember. I don't care for any categories or style differences, DOs and DONTs in music. I've started messing with electronic sounds in the 1980s with a little help from SID. It was more fun to compute than to get blisters from a 6-string, and you can keep more bucks being a solo project than being in a bigband ;-) That's it in brief, the rest is history (...to be continued on my official site )

P.S. yes, the tracks in the player are neither optimized for lo-fi-mp3 nor audiocompressed like hell. They are provided "as is", that's what demos 1.0 used to sound like

work in progress

After some kind of hiatus I'm back in the process of producing new tracks. I changed my studio environment completely and I am curious what impact this will leave on my music.
