I have been addicted to electronic music since its inception. My youth was influenced by the first LPs of Tangerine Dream and performances of Klaus Schulze, then Kraftwerk and finally Jean Michel Jarre and many others such as Vimal, Vangelis, Tomita, Wendy Carlos, Erdenklang, Claude Larson, Gershon Kingsley, Laurie Anderson, Rupert Hine and , and , and …..

I have built most of my instruments myself. Depending on my financial situation, purchased instruments were added, as you can see in the instrument lists of my recordings. I developed and played large modular systems between the ages of 16 and 24. During my two years of assisting and working with composer Gershon Kingsley (Popcorn), I was able to use my technical knowledge to service his Moog modular systems and was allowed to use them for my songs.

From the beginning I called myself “Symboter”. A pseudonym that brings together the two worlds of man and machine: the symbiosis of man and robot.

I founded my first studio for electronic music in Munich in 1975, and in the following years it grew into a place of many sound experiments with friends in various constellations. My quite successful solo cassettes were released by SYNTAPE. Encouraged by this, I played some live concerts at home and finally recorded the LP “Japotage” with a loosely connected group of musicians.

This was followed by music for movies, TV trailers, theme music and commercials for various broadcasters, TV programs and artists. While working as an art director for a TV station, I met Freddy Mercury of Queen and produced visual effects for him. A few years later I worked with Peter Gabriel (Genesis), Dieter Meier (Yello), Helen Schneider and Eberhard Schöner, again in the field of VFX.
