Artist description When I sit at the piano the music starts flowing out of my mind ... a good way for me to relax. My compositions and improvisations are mostly EasyListening music, but can range also from NewAge and Jazz to contemporary classical music. Since I like nature and films, I often describe scenes I imagine for my songs. If you enjoy listening to my music, I will be very happy.

Artist History I started playing classical piano at the age of 8. After discovering that I can play melodies straight from my mind, I started improvising. Hearing the music of Keith Jarrett was the initial key to turn my interest towards jazz. On the other hand, I was also fascinated by synthesizers and their sounds in the music of the 70s. After studying electrical engineering, the piano again became the most important instrument for my composing. In the mid-90s I started using MIDI and the computer as a good way to record my compositions on my own. To share my music with others I opened my MP3 site in 2001.
