early years

As a kid, I was fascinated by the sounds of 16-bit console games until I eventually started recording the music on cassettes.

...Yeah, I was kind of crazy, and I'm still in love with those sounds, but that's how I developed my musical perception of video and computer games at an early age.

Some weekend days I would chill next to the cassette player while playing a cassette of in-game sounds from SNES games or Playstation demo games...

Did you know that with many demo CDs from gaming magazines, you can find the in-game music by simply exploring their folder structure? -I bought it almost exclusively for this reason.

music software ... or crap?

In my younger years, I started making music on the PC, using my saved pocket money to regularly invest in "bad" music software. Just to name a few: ReBirth, Sibelius, ProTraxx, Dance E-jay, Rave E-jay, HipHop E-jay, Music Maker, Techno Maker, Orion Platinum...

Additionally, I regularly bought sample CDs, sound packs, Music Magazines with sample CDs and so on...

Today I am working with a full producer edition of fruity loops studio. This tool is the best I have ever used and follows the way I have worked before with proTraxx and OrionPlatinum. Maybe that's why my stuff doesn't sound like -the new shit everyone's gonna hype-, but it feels like a safe way to continue exploring my inner self.
