I have been playing guitar since I was ten, I have been "writing electronic music" since I found out, how to "poke" noise out of my first computer's (a VIC) oscillator. Later, abaout 1990, together with some other Amiga geeks, I founded an early, call it "industrial" project (we had no idea about industrial or the developing EBM movement at that time - Kraftwerk and J.M. Jarre was all we could ever get our hands on) in a small bavarian town, where our fellow citizens -even those in our age- seriously took us for completely nuts.

I finally bought a PC in 1996 - and instantly started hating it - until my girlfriend's brother showed up with Linux, which was tozally new to me. I didn't expect it to be useful or interesting because anything I had seen on PCs was just plain boring and mostly poor plagiations of programs I had seen on Amigas and Ataris years ago - mockery made up for people who were not able to write a single line of code or music. I could not understand what else somebody would want to do with a computer, but programming or doing graphics or music- c r e a t i v e things - not just killing time with agonizingly stupid games. I still don't, but since I am running Linux (and IRIX,HP-UX and Solaris) - I have better things to waste my thoughts. Well - that was biography, not really music, now seriously:

Music

Engineered by my long term co-musician, DJ, and sound engineer Alex at http://www.inspacecorp.de He used to be very sceptic about "unprofessional" ways of producing audio like using Linux - 4 days of heavy-duty music-production without a single system freeze quite changed his opinion...

Hardware

Software

Jackd & tools, Muse, sweep, Audacity, Ardour, Jamin, LADCCA, Specimen and lots more - the named apps were just the first that came to my mind.
