About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorSometime during the year 1992, I discovered my passion for electronic music, after having taken classic piano lessons for more than 10 years. Also I played bass-guitar, in some local "punk-rock" bands `round my home-town in Germany. Inspired by some Vangelis and Jean Michel Jarre records I found myself listening to what was at the time referred to as techno music. I quickly decided that I, too, wanted to do something like that. Not knowing how such music was produced, and having no idea what kind of appliance generated such synthetic beats, several years passed before I coincidentally made a discovery that led me into the right direction. A friend of mine owned an Amiga 500 Computer with a multi track recorder, which was capable of loading samples.Unfortunately, the programs limits were soon reached, and I didnt know how to continue. Later on, approximately at the end of 1994, I did finally find out how to produce music in a really professional way - After a time of trying and experimenting, I made my first recordings, without offering them to anyone, however, not being happy with the outcome for the time being. At the end of 1999 the time had finally come: I put together three tracks of which I was sure, that they were excellently suitable for dancing.
