My Life with Synthesizers

​

Having bought my first synthesizer in the middle of the seventies my experience with electronic sound-creation goes back 50 years now.

It started with a band called "Confusius" in Dusseldorf (Germany) in 1977 and lasted for  7 years.

With the introduction of MIDI-sequencers in the eighties I decided to do solo-pro-jects. It ended up in another band called "Digitalis" at the end of the nineties.

Apart from a few completely digitally controlled live-acts we released 3 CDs.

The most special thing about the live-

performances was a MIDI-stage-lightning

controller running synchronous to the music with circuitry that I had developed only for that purpose. The cast for the last CD was special, because the band was never on the same spot at the same time.

Our singer lived in the U.S. and we´ve never seen him personally.

After the last release in 2002 I kept experimenting for a long time and I was more busy with video-production, acoustics and graphics than music.

After having moved to Spain in 2018 I started writing new songs.

My first project was producing  film-scores.

I completed an album of 20 tracks called

"Wide Spaces". A year later I finished

"No particular Direction".

"The Art of playing Nothing" was released

in April 2024.

In December 2024 "The White Canvas"

was ready for publication also. The next production coming up was "Back

to Earth" in January 2025.

I felt free to write songs of any style with-out the need for commercial success. It´s plain synthesizer-generated music inte-grating artificial intelligence to a certain amount.
