Artist History NAME OF PROJEKT/NAME OF THE BAND: Hpa QuintenTHE BIOGRAPHIETHE CONNECTION RAY'S PUBLIC RELATIONS WORK announced a worldwide competition in 1996. The goal of this competition is to find authors, who are able to research the work of CONNECTION RAY Star-Agent "Hpa Quinten" both journalistically and musically, transform it into lyrics and finally set it to music.Since 1993 "Hpa Quinten" is an agent [to be precise: a half-pro agent] whose duty is to carry out a special case set by the CONNECTION RAY in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, via the local CONNECTION RAY-Mediator Sir Tiff Rang-Lucquow. THE CONNECTION RAY is a non-governmental organization which operates worldwide . Its aim is to find potential candidates for influential posts in politics, economics, science and culture and to support them without their knowing. Sir Tiff Rang-Lucquow is the Chancellor of the so-called OFFICE MM, which can be seen as the coordination-headquarters of the CONNECTION RAY for South-West Germany. Sue B **** is a promising "aspirant" who is supported in Germany, but nevertheless she goes down the wrong paths. - An initially successful undertaking that was designed for Sue B * * * * by "Fpa Mac" since 1989 starts to falter about 1992. The cause of the problem is Sue's increasingly apparent unpredictability and fickleness. It doesn't take long for "Fpa Mac" to realize that his task has outgrown him and finally gives in.As however all other participants face the problem with more and more helplessness day by day, OFFICE MM Chancellor Rang-Lucquow puts a stop to the matter and demands anti-crisis-personal : somebody who can approach Sue and disclose her problem. But none of the organization’s specialists is able to convince Rang-Luquow of his strategy. Thereupon the chancellor starts to search for a suitable person himself - amongst Sue's circle of friends he immediately finds a young man - we will call him Quinten - a high school student and at that time a mere acquaintance of Sue B * * * *. Rang-Lucquow quickly establishes contact with Quinten, and soon decides to give him a try. Despite some indignation from his own men, Rang-Lucquow invites his new friend to an interview in THE ROOM, the chancellery within OFFICE MM. Lucquow manages to win the student over to the task; Quinten leaves the locality as Half Pro Agent (Hpa) - as 1. Liaison Man of a really explosive undertaking called "Big Kid".What "Hpa Quinten" experiences with Sue during the five years of "Big Kid" what he discovers that nobody dared to predict, and not least his extraordinarily good connection with Sir Tiff Rang-Lucquow, caused such a stir within the CONNECTION RAY that they saw the chance, for which they had been waiting so long: the chance to create an appealing representation of the conjunction of empathy and heroism on a high level, and thereby make a human attitude persistently attractive again, especially for young people. From the very beginning music is seen as a undisputedly suitable medium. The planning of the "Hpa Quinten Campaign" is initiated.The big competition takes place, and Freteric Student and Well AsCop are chosen from the competitors. The PRO QUINTEN REPRORTER is established in Freiburg i. Brsg. Harry Vieser is constituted as its head and also as Press Agent . Student and AsCop set to work on the " Half-Pro-Filing No 1" in 1997 under the name of "Hpa Quinten", i.e. the setting of "Big Kid". The work on this report is barely finished in the late summer of 1998, when a "Full Pro Filing" is already planned: agent Quinten is promoted to a "Full Pro Agent" , under-cover agent of his first main undertaking: "Yellow Strom", which is still as up to date and no less spectacular as its predecessor "Big Kid". "Yellow Strom" is followed by Student and AsCop from the beginning and will now be set to music by and by as "Full Pro Filing No 1", consistently under the name of "Fpa Quinten".According to a calculation of the CONNECTION RAY’S TREASURY - a record-deal with a middle-sized label could save much money – the resources for a large scale release and following campaign are blocked for the time being . So, they came to the decision to let an extract of the two "Files" get recorded first and to publish the songs on the so-called "The Self-Defense(Jur) File" , it was released on October the 2nd 2000. It contains two songs of "Hpa Quinten", plus a song of "Fpa Quinten", namely "Compare The Mars!". "The Self-Defense File" was published on the internet, and distributed to record-companies, newspapers and radio-stations, to gain the response that is hoped for: a serious offer from a record-company.

Press Reviews "The underground sound for the year 2001. Extremely interesting production and structural treatments alongside a sort of haunting tone enable this group to come across as a very unique group that fails to adhere to most musical styles. Well done. The world needs more groups approaching music in this manner." (REVIEWED BY POP-CHARTS.CJB.NET-MARCH, 2001)
