Yet another amateur one man band. I started composing and writing at the age of 13. I started off playing electronic organ, later acoustic, electric and bass guitars. Played in a few local rock bands, but for some reason I was never really happy about the way things went. So at the age of 18 I decided to become a one man band. In 1982 I released my first official audio cassette tape "The truth UR afraid of". Followed by each year two more cassettes. In 1992 i threw my instruments into the closet and started using so called "Tracker editors", making me able to use "any instrument" I could ever dream of. Meaning my sound dramatically changed trough the years. These days I hardly release new CD's (mostly one a year). However I don't create every week another new song, as I did before. I keep on ticking....
Why this name?
Well it's my name ;)
Do you play live?
Unfortunately I did no live performance since 1992. I did some "Unplugged" gigs however before the last real gig was on November 14 1989, assisted by my sister Dolly (vocals) and brother Han (electric guitar) in a village called Meerssen.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Unfortunately I am not very impressed by the music industry, to me it's a way to share my music ;)
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
shore, why not?
Band History:
Well, there is not much of a history, remember I am only a hobbyist.
Your influences?
Starting of with Mike Oldfield. I found out he made his entire work on his own, so I thought, OK, if he can do it, i can do it too... right? But honestly to give you any useful idea of what my music sounds like, you could call it a mix between between Oldfield, Jean-Michelle Jarre, Alice Cooper, the Exploited, Patrick Cowley, Paul Parker, the Cure and Enigma... Sounds strange? you bet it does ;)
You could call it: Ambent trance/club electro rock...

Favorite spot?
Tel-Aviv, Berlin and Amsterdam
Equipment used:
Computers running the Open Modplug Tracker. I save my working files in Impulse Tracker format and when finished I save them as WAV files. After this I burn them on a audio CD and compress them to MP3's. Until 2002 however I've had a bunch of real instruments:
* Acustic guitar;
* a few electric guitars;
* Bass guitar;
* Curna Saz (small Turkish snare instrument);
* Zurna (Turkish oeboe);
* Davul (Arabic drum);
* about 5 Casio Keyboards
* GEM electronic orgain.
I had a complete home recording studio, I called Ha Menorah. The nerve system of my MIDI network was a Commodore-Amiga 500.

Anything else...?
Unfortunately, moving to my new apartment in 2002 my audio cassettes, including the ones of Cheese Devils got lost. I know they must be somewhere out there. But where, is the question. So for now only my Audio CD's, I produced since 1997 are still available.
