my biography

Started playing around with music making in the good old days when Amiga and Protracker ruled the world.
Who could possibly need more than four channels, I was thinking. I was kinda stuck in this tracker era for a very long time. I liked it!
Now, I think Reason is god's gift to mankind. My favourite plaything, together with the Korg microKontrol. But sometimes, I get nostalgical and miss that old tracker feeling (Propellerhead, would you please do me a little favour?)

For me, music making is kinda like watching TV; relaxing and fun. I'm more of a consumer than a producer. And boy do I consume. All kinds of GOOD music, no matter of genre. I listen to everything from ambient dub via drum'n'bass to industrial metal, as long as it has that special magic that hits my body nerve. Don't know what it is, but I'm on a striving quest to find out...

I also once in a while make some digital dance/industrial/ambient mixes. Just for fun, and my own, and sometimes others, listening pleasure.

my sounds

Title: Rosebud Graveyard
Rosebud-graveyard
Description: A very uplifting and happy melody, made on the graveyard shift. No rights reserved.
Title: Tip toe, My foe
Tip-toe-my-foe
Description: Started out as a Shpongle experiment. But something went incredibly wrong..
Title: Arp Hole
Arp-hole
Description: Just plain weird. And fonky. And it's not finished, as usual..
Title: Tie Breaker
Tie-breaker
Description: Headphones on. Volume high. Press play and start mellowing. Experimental playfulness at work.

Nej men hej - this was a surprise. You have a pretty cool selection of tracks here ranging in styles.

My favourite is easily "Tie breaker" which, despite your comments to the contrary, sounds the most complete. Really great sound and very well produced.

BTW - Amiga? I was in the Atari ST camp myself. And I had an amazing _twelve_ tracks in my Steinberg sequencer. :)
