Artist History Way back in the end of the 80´s I got my self the Amiga 500. Started to work with graphics and even tried to learn to program the damn thing however my programing skills never got very good, so I started to make music with the Noisetracker. After getting into this I soon realized I had to get a synth to be able to sample new fresh synth sounds. My first synth became the Korg Wavestation. Pretty soon after this purchase I needed drums (Roland R8 was bought) And another synth (Roland JD-800). And so it kept on going. In 93 I was offered a jobb as a radio commercials producer, so this was the work I did for over 3 years. Me and a friend of mine made a deal with the radio station that made it possible for us to have a quite large room for our synth´s. We spent much time here composing and working on commercials for the radio station. However after some time of making commercials I grew tired of the jobb and decided to study. Since 96 I have been going to school reading all kinds of stuff. In 98 I decided to form a band called "Phoenix1291" and I released my first long play record called "Universe" which featured 11 instrumental songs and was a musical journey through space. Some of the songs where written long ago, while others where composed in 98 in order to make the story complete. In 00 a collection of additional old material was released, this album was called "time traveler/voyageur du temps" and it featured unreleased material and different mixes from the "Universe" album. Right now I am working on a project called "Genesis" and will be released under my current band name "Synthx".
