About Me


Started writing and composing tracks in 1998.
Varying styles of music have flowed through starting with gabba, hard house, techno, industrial, noise, acid and breakbeat, before settling into a slower groove with more ambient, noise/soundscape works, heavily influenced by drum n bass, breaks and hiphop, as well as quirky electro, and music that either most people fall asleep to or find incredibly boring (progressive ambient and stuff like that...) currently enjoying a bit of a noise revival, and dirty dark synths.
Setup includes Korg Electribe ES-1, Roland MC-303, Zoom 606 FX, Dodgy synths and soft-synths, random pedals, feedback loops and noise, a mixer that barely stands up and crackly leads.
PC running Abelton Live 6 and crazy VSTi's, Adobe Audition, FL Studio and Reason 3.

been working on some new material since Titania, and so far am reasonably happy with the results. guitar/organ/bass/synth stuff. mellow and nice.
my latest creative effort is my beautiful baby girl, Elke, and her latest creative effort has been a big vomit on my pants...

Sounds Like: Nothing and everything at once.
music written and inspired by mathematics, fractals, nature and life.
beauty in imperfection, imperfection in beauty.
Simplicity in Complexity, Complexity in Simplicity.
The gaps in between and what is taken away.
Silence and white noise living in harmony.
Harmony and noise living in silence
Sine, Square, Sawtooth, Triangle and combinations of all.
Little subtleties
Maximum wall of sound with no room to move
Empty sparseness with space all around
Juxtaposition of dark on light, and light on dark
The electricity before and after a storm
The moment your eyes shut
Sweetness and light...
My memories...
