It all started in the 80´ s. I had been taking some piano lessons. But as a creative person, I didn't feel that my task was to learn how to read and play sheet music. Then, around the year 1983, when Yamaha released the synthesizer model DX 7, I realized that synthesizers are instruments that I want to interact with.
I was a big fan of science fiction, movies, robots and computers. Listening to all those movie soundtracks and game music. The C 64 SID 4-voice sounds affected me, but never went to C 64- or Amiga "tracker lane" though. My projects and songs are always started from some special tone or sound and the feelings of artificial frequencies.
Over the years I have written and produced over 200 musical "things" varying from ambient, electronic and trance styles.
