ABOUT/HISTORY
GENERAL
The music you can hear on this site is the result of a sideline project of mine which I started in 2001.
Karl Valentin said: 'Art is nice, but it makes a lot of work'. Now, if you want to make money with the work of your hands, you have to create such work in a way that your audience is going to like. In this case, you would have to tend to what people like to hear, that is to say in the popular charts of mainstream music. This is not what I wanted to do. I chose not even to try to adapt to what most people might want to listen to.
Thus, I have actually not written this music for anybody but myself. But if you like it and if you feel inspired, it is available here - have fun!
