Born in 1968 in Kassel/Germany, Chris found himself dedicated to music at a very young age. He started piano lessons at the age of 5, but didn't like the traditional way of music education and quit after 2 years. However he kept playing the piano and learned composing by himself. At 14 he got his first computer, the legendary Commodore 64 and he also started programming. A few years later he won the first prize in a computer-music contest sponsored by a famous German computer magazine. This was the beginning of his career as a professional composer for computer and video game soundtracks. Since 1986 he has written music for over 70 software titles incl. the highly acclaimed "Star Wars - Rogue Leader" and the latest project "Star Wars - Rebel Strike" for Nintendo Gamecube...
