Cologne
No Band, No act, just Cologne.
He's a sampling, sequencing guru, sometimes using dark and/ or twisted sounds.
Although he does use samples, he mostly plays and builds all his own parts down to the click. He's the kind of artist that real musicians HATE.
The music of Cologne is anything from Industrial, Techno, Rap, Ambient to GOTH or all mixed together, like Grandma's nasty goulash.
Remember when acoustic met electric? Well, now electric meets itself.
Propelled by rhythm and darkness and the alcohol in his blood. Unconcerned about making any kind of sense, Cologne does music his way.
Tools = Fully loaded K2500, Korg D16, Korg EA-1, Kramer Guitar + misc. external FX and mastering gear.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I always beat or tapped on something and drove people crazy. So one day back when the first few drum machines came out I bought one. I became addicted. Then I just kept trying all kinds of electronic gear. My girlfriend at the time was getting upset with me because I started spending all my time with my gear instead of with her. lol I guess I love creating music or noise more than everything else.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
NO.
