Goldberg variations, played with broken fingers.

About Me

1990.
I started as a MC in a german rap group. We were quite successful. It all fell apart after a german kid joined us. I forgot his name. He was ugly and couldn't rap at all but had a brand new boom box. By the way, did you ever notice, that these untalented kids allways get money to buy the best equipment... My dad bought me a cheap guitar when i was 10 years old and a week later, he crashed it on my ass, beating the shit out of me... Anyway:

1994
Got myself an ensoniq asr 10 workstation.

2003
Completed a 5 track EP (the vertical studies, limited to 50 copies ) on my own label EDITION TENDERLAY.

2007
Finished the production for my first album "breathe, please". Probably out autumn 2007.
