About Me

After having played in Bands for years, I decided that a more convenient way to express myself and my egocentrical ambitions would be to play my music all alone. And really, it’s far more relaxing and I am satisfied with the results. Sitting in my room with a guitar and other instruments, an eight-track recording-machine and my labtop, I also follow the worldwide trend of individualization and lack of group-solidarity. This is reflected in my songs: loneliness, isolation, fear and anger, anger about coming from a fucked-up place (Germany).Already while playing in Bands, I started recording my own solo-material. I did this during many years, but only for my private pleasure. Just in 2005 i started to take it more serious and recorded the 5-track demo 'Songs From The Velvet Grave', which is available on Hamburg-based Miyagi Records since February 2007. The five songs on this EP are very related to each other and you can listen to them like to a story, like to a novel concerned with the intellectual or spiritual development of the main character (a.k.a. Bildungsroman). They combine classical Singer/Songwriter Popsongs with some electronic additions. The whole stuff sounds rather dark, but it also bears hints of hope inside, and love as the universal way to deliverance.I don't stop making songs, and some of the new stuff can always be found on this site. I’m happy to be one with the freaks, to be part of this global madness called Myspace. Now we are all friends!

Influences: Ein jeder spielt den treuen Knecht/ Und ruft den Herrn mit süßen Worten. Sie fühlen sich durch ihn beglückt, Und ahnden nicht, daß sie gefangen; Berauscht von trüglichem Verlangen/ Weiß keiner, wo der Schuh ihn drückt.Nur wenige sind schlau und wach, Und dürsten nicht nach seinen Gaben; Sie trachten unablässig nach, Das alte Schloß zu untergraben. Der Heimlichkeit urmächtgen Bann, Kann nur die Hand der Einsicht lösen; Gelingts das Innere zu entblößen/ So bricht der Tag der Freiheit an.
