Music
Since 1994, my main instrument is electric bass. In addition, I play (rhythm) guitar and sing. I also learned some Sitar :).
I enjoy composing and arranging my own pieces (also together with others) and also do recordings and sequencing. I mainly use Logic Gold and Reactor for that.
As part of my studies, I took theory and composition lessons with Georg Wötzer from 2000 to 2005.
