Biography:

1979 Process of birth - I didn't really want to get out into this world - today sometimes I think I know why...
1984 Time to learn some bossa-nova skills from father and grandfather on an expensive 2-tonned-keyboard-organ-monster...
1985 First own yamaha mini keyboard (had some great fun playing child-songs with hardrock-arrangements - but not my parents for long ;-)
1992 First experiments with the technics synth-keyboard of my grandfather (right, he wasn't a usual grandfather) - I couldn't get enough of spacey pads...
1995 Discovered the sequencer of my father's Yamaha-keyboard - produced some first own patterns. Hanging around at music stores the whole day - mostly in front of a Korg-M1 - hypnotized by those 5 min. long atmo-sounds...
1996 Only one wish for christmas this year: to get an own synthesizer! Got an Ensoniq TS-12 and discovered the sample-player-function - some days later I had a new wish: just to get a sampler! Bought an Ensoniq ASR-10 - and didn't get very brown this summer...
1997 Tried out almost every style from jazz over movie scores, rock, funk, lots of techno...
2000 Bought an MC-303 Groovebox and made some elektro-liveacts in Frankfurt a.M. - had a good time out there...
2001 Tried the demo of Propellerhead Reason - you could test for 20-minute sessions - I don't wanna know how many 20-minutes I spent on this. Ordered it the next days... Then worked on different demo-cd's...
2002 Bought some kid-toy-looking stuff named D1-Groovebox. First liveact at Radio X / Frankfurt with Christian Berg. And then sent this elektro-tape to Mikrolux...
