1960 Born near Frankfurt Germany.
Musician since ever.Having shaky bones and strange ideas must be a thing of the family.So dad used to be a Jazz Trumpet Player.He even had the honour to play with Luis Armstron once .Concerning strange ideas , he was the founder of gucky the mousebeaver (Scifi: Perry Rhodan) and that i am deffinately proud of .

"Since i can think,i experiment with electronics,sounds,music and voices.My favorite thing as a young boy was to record any imaginable sound on tape. Daddies old Grundig taperecorder was an important part of interest. My black and white TV-collection from the junk was like a wall up to the sealing and it was always great fun to watch funny waves moving on the screens to my music. That was about 1970. My friends always had to lough alot when i shocked people walking by with speakers hidden in the trees or behind bushes.Once i invited my whole class from school to a spectacular soundrecording in an old garage where everyone had to crash against furniture or bins with heavy hammers and Stuff...( now guys , you know WHERE GARAGE comes from ! ;-)) I was alsways a big fan of  radioplays so i recorded quite a few of them. Big fun,i can tell you ... sound , recorded on top of movies was another thing i always loved to do, but what kind of movies i will not tell you now ;-)
