Welcome! Lifelong work-in-progress individual trying to grasp life and what the whole deal of our short gig on earth is all about. I have a sincere interest in humanism, equity and justice for every creature and for the abused environment of planet earth itself.

I spent about five years in Texas and have also been working in Crete, Greece and Libya. In the late 1990's I had the great opportunity to be involved in some recording sessions (Nevermore, Skrew, Old97s are probably the most prominent of them) at Sonic Ranch Studios in Tornillo, Texas - a superb studio complex with some of the finest gear, wonderful located close to the Mexican border.

Being raised in a musician's family I grew up with music. Started to hit the drums at age 4 and later I did change to guitar. I don't narrow myself to certain music styles - as long as it touches my soul, gives me the chill or kicks some arse - though Metal, Rock, Blues and Fusion are still my favorites.

Besides being a lecturer for audio engineering, information technology and electrical engineering in Hamburg for several years, I did some studio work and mastering jobs for various local bands and have also been playing guitar in a couple of metal and rock cover bands. This is my cover version of Hocus Pocus:

I am interested in politics, society, economy, environmental and animal protection, biodiversity and sustainability, We obviously have only this one world, so it is pretty stupid to either trash it, as we (the self-proclaimed "pride of creation") are doing it just for the profit and the wealth of a minority - wealth egoistically build on starvation and exploitation of a majority - or mess around with things which we are unable to handle, like nuclear power or genetic engineering. Every single creature must have a chance to live in dignity on this planet without starvation, poverty, exploitation, wars (religious, imperialistic, hegemonic or economic), terrorism and racism:

I condemn all forms of racism, discrimination and fanaticism stupidity. There is no such thing like a more significant human being. Nobody should get discriminated - no matter what the color of someone's skin, their religion, origin, gender, disability (everybody is in one or the other way disabled anyway) or sexual orientiation is. One people - One humanity - One world. Period!

I believe that a peaceful and fulfilling coexistence can only emerge out of respect, equity and tolerance, compassion and kindness, love and understanding. Our repression, selfishness, greed, social injustice, superficiality and exploitation are responsible for the current condition of our world and are the cause for agony and poverty, wars, terror and hatred. But every individual can make a difference just by challenging the actions within their every day life and scope, because each one of us is responsible for the actual situation - and nobody else:

Rock hard and love to distraction
