First signal
The first studio was small, direct, and full of discovery. The machines were limited, but the idea was already there: sound could become a complete world.

History
A personal timeline of rooms, tools, and the long relationship with electronic sound.

Discovery & Foundations
My musical journey began in 1986 with a deep fascination for electronic sound, synthesis, and the emotional power of evolving textures. These early years were spent experimenting with synthesizers, computers, recording methods, and changing studio setups. Before any official releases, this period formed the foundation of my musical language: space, patience, atmosphere, and structure.
First Albums & Identity
I began shaping my private experiments into full album projects. Releases such as Nibiru and Retrospective introduced my early artistic identity, centered on long-form electronic music, ambient movement, and immersive instrumental sound. During this time, the studio became more focused and album-oriented, evolving into a complete creative system.
Depth, Atmosphere & Studio as Instrument
My work became more controlled, atmospheric, and refined. Albums including Moab, Ambience, Atmosphere, and Signal explored depth, restraint, and slow emotional development. The studio itself became central to the music, combining analog synthesizers, modular elements, custom routing, and hybrid workflows into a hands-on instrument for composition and sound design.
AERA
AERA brings the whole path together: studio work, technology work, finished music, and the person behind all of it placed more clearly in front of the system. My music has moved toward maturity, clarity, and complete long-form environments. Albums such as Memoria Technica, Gravity, and Everything Will Dissolve reflect a more composed and reflective approach. This phase focuses on systems, depth, and longevity: albums as immersive worlds, the studio as a living instrument, and technology as something shaped in service of emotion and atmosphere.
