Melanie´s Path

Born in Essen, Germany (on April 1981) I started making music at the early age of 13. I created my first tracks on a simply "Amiga 500" computer with many different tracking sequencers. My first Sound were really "Hardcore" and influenced by the early "Thunderdome" series. In 1996 I decided to make music more professionally, and bought an "Atari 1040 ST" computer, but didn´t have enough money to buy a synthesizer or anything like that. Anyway I was inspired by the early Trance tracks like Paul van Dyks "My World" and Jam & Spoons "Stella", but I hadn´t the equipment to do something like this. Many years later I bought a used "Yamaha CS-1x" synthesizer and started making my first Trance-Tunes. But after a few weeks I saw that the synthesizer didn´t have the wide range of sound to realize my ideas. In 2001 I exchanged the CS-1x for an AN-1x (also Yamaha), and bought a Music-PC, too. With this AN-1x and the "Dreamstation" software I was able to realize some Trance and Goa-tracks. In 2003 I must sell all my musical equipment because there were hard times, and money was rare! In 2006 I started again and realized now my ideas with really minimal equipment. I produced a wide range of styles and "PsIon" is just one project of many others. You also find "Epilab-C" and "Caleidosex" at my Top-Space. All the music I do as "PsIon" is dedicated to a friend called Melanie. She changed my way of life, in a really positive direction. She died four years ago, but she is still living in my heart forever.
