Born in 1957, grew up in a small town in Germany. Having listened only to classical music at home, it was an epiphany for him when he discovered the psychedelic music of the late 60’s. This was the era of students ́revolts, flower power, Woodstock, the emerging of Krautrock and electronic music. He loved rock music and also jazz but felt the coming-together of both in fusion superior.
He discovered hardrock bands like Deep Purple playing with Symphonic Orchestras which felt for him like the two worlds he was living in becoming one. All of this made him want to be a musician when he was 12. He quit his musical education soon after he had begun it – he wanted to play his own music.
He bought an electric and a bass-guitar plus amps and a drumset and started to teach himself to play. Years later he started to discover the world of synthesis and started to learn playing keyboards and synthesizers and soon playing electronic music became indispensable for him.
Nowadays, he still has the burning – and nourishing – desire to play music. He is member of several ensembles for free improvisation, free jazz-rock, live soundtrack for silent movies, and also creates music in his home studio with no fixed genre, preferably in collaborations, and preferrably mixing genres, ranging from meditative ambient to jazz and experimental
