[edit] Life
Contrary to his significance for the scene, relatively little is known about his personal life. He wrote Soundtracker for his work at ReLINE (located in Hannover/Germany) and Rainbow Arts, where he was responsible for the creation of game music (see the list below) and programming. Later on he worked for a media agency called 'Corporate Media' or COME (also located in Hannover), where he developed Video-Editing Software for Amiga like 'FreezeFrame' (a Remote-Software to control a Laserdisc Writer/Player from Sony) and 'ImageBulk' (a Remote-Software to feed a Lasergraphics Digital Film Recorder [1], with RGB 24Bit Data). There was also a software to synchronize a Betamax Player/Mixer with the Laserdisc Player from Sony.
He left the scene somewhere in the mid-1990s and is now working in the electronics business.[citation needed] He still does music in his free time and is planning to release a CD.[1]]
