about

»Everyone has three lives: a public life, a private life and a secret life.«

It is a pure coincidence, but a fitting one that I started to write the liner notes to a much delayed Rubeau release directly under this saying of Gabriel García Márquez.
For I want to show my side as a passionate beat maker and take you into the Stuttgart bedroom to my first programming steps during the freshly launched 2000s.
Let’s Enter and fire up the machines....
The beatboxes (Vermona DRM1, Sequential Drumtraks, Jomox X-Base), the synths (Roland JX3P, Yamaha TX7 and CS1X), the effects units (Boss DM100, Dynacord Super76, Korg DVP1 Vocoder and of course the Powerbook... and play right away - here on the adventure playground opposite my familiar drum castle.
Yo will hear my quantized self. Music for computer games I never played, fantasies from the living room club at home. But also a deliberate, hands-on approach to that non-drummed foundation of electronic and programmed sound:

Why now? Why even bring out such old chestnuts?
1. finishing = always good
2. fossil findings allow exciting insights
3. this track selection is the precursor to the Hattler remixes and my self-confidence finding phase to be able to offer also electronic songs and beats
4. above all, it is another way to generate donations. All proceeds are forwarded to to Médecins Sans Frontières for humanitarian aid.
