Welcome to the OneMansBand fas55 I (we) hope you enyoy and like my music, as well I would like share ideas and creativity.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I began to play music in 1980, with an analog synth Korg Poly 61, and a self build electronic piano. Recording with a casettedeck an a tapedeck. I bought my first synth and sampler in 1982. This was an AX60 and a S612. After this a P330 piano module, and a CX5M music comp from Yamaha. Played in local bands, from the company I worked, there were some collega's who made a band. After this with some friends played symphonic rock for a year as keyboard player. During that period I owned AX73, AX60, P330, Solina strings, and a CVS10 organ. In 1996, I began to play own music at home, with sequencer from Roland, I forgot wich one. Then began the building-up of the gear I own nowaday's. At the moment studio is in my opinion complete enough for me to make what I want and like. Sometimes making musical projects with friends I know for a long time. Such a combination of different styles and Ideas gives very surprising and good results.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
No, I do not play live, because recording and playing happens in studio, located in a seperate room at home adress. It is a fixed setup. All the special moments are always concentrated in being proud about the complete result of completing a song, or track.

Anything else?
The studio will get a big maintainance and rebuilding period in september 2007. All equipment is not very dated, old and some OOS. Specially the D&R must have some cleaning and maintainance, but it is good to keep all gear perfectly working. In the future I will put all musical work here.
