    If the keywords printed above haven't deterred you: Welcome to Stammer! Music speaks its own language, explaining music with words is usually a sign of weakness. So the best thing you can do is stop reading now and just listen with an open ear and an open mind to the music. If I continue to write more words here it will only be to sort out the audience, stimulating the curiosity of some and causing rejection of others.

    Again: Music speaks its own language. I try to take this statement to its last consequences. There is no story, no plot, no message behind my notes. Melody and harmony lose their protagonism and pure sound, being an extraordinary means of conveying emotion, plays a seminal role in my music.
    "Pure sound" is of course quite an ambiguous expression. Apart from being produced synthetically by computer and synthesizer and liberated from the tyranny of melody and harmony, I see fortuitousness and purposelessness as important elements of pure sound. Being almost a non-musician myself, the lack of control and dominance over the music and over the instruments is in my view an advantage. I just try to bring my synthesizer and computer to life, setting some parameters and boundaries and being alert on all the interesting things that might happen.

    Having said all this, I am convinced of the necessity of structure, of some kind of frame to isolate and highlight the found sounds. Melody and harmony are never completely absent in my music. Rhythm is usually a basic element and besides: the human mind is incredibly capable of finding order and harmony in apparent chaos. Balancing on the borderline of noise and melody, of chaos and harmony is what I see as one of the most powerful ways of communicating emotion in music.

    If this all seems still very obscure to you, I recommend you to have a look at my personal homepage or simpler: just listen to the music.
    Being physical sound of such importance, I strongly advice you to use the 'Hi-Fi" listen or download option. The real audiophile should definitively buy the original CDs which can be ordered at my
    homepage.
