Music has always been a significant part of my life. Since 1995, I have been mixing on turntables. I also tried composing my own songs, but they never turned out very well.
Music on Computers
My first attempt at making music was on the computer. I never enjoyed live playing, so I sought a better way to create music. That's when I discovered MOD-Trackers! There are some nice MOD files, but they are very computer-based and don't sound like real music.

Computer music examples from 1993: ... wizard.mod (46kB) ... run_away.mod (43kB)
Electronic techno-steps from 1994: ... lit_rave.mod (57kB) ... nxt_rave.mod (33kB)

Live Synthesizer Music
Later on, we tried to perform some live music. There are two tapes with live music that I will sample very soon. One tape is a live recording from the S.O.N.A.X meets Genital Angriff session in our party room (screenshot follows), and the other is a solo tape from Genital Angriff.

Live Turntable Mixing
I started mixing very late and never aspired to be a big star DJ. I really enjoyed mixing at private parties and smaller events. In the 'DJ examples' box, you can find the latest afro-cosmic-double-mix with my DJ friend Marc le Nain, a live recording at the Private Lounge Party V.
