His childhood was imprinted by the squeaking sound of mono-kitchen-radio music. His youth was spent in headphone-trips with electronic and progressive music. The music lessons in school were a disaster, but the first guitar came as inevitable as Punk!

At home he did many and wild experiments - first with guitar, Casio, tape-recorder and echo-machine, later with bass and organ too. With bands he tried to express himself in Punk, Garage-Rock, Beat, Dark Wave, Alternative, Surf, Polka, Dub, Pop and Noise. Little by little Dr.Nojoke purchased equipment for building-up a homestudio. Together with the project elektroblitz mitte he produced three film- and seven theatre-soundtracks. He oriented himself towards electronic music/production and was active under the pseudonym Dr.Nojoke for the first time in 1999. Since then he organised and carried out performances in galleries, clubs, festivals and other places. He finds the beauty inside the shredded pixels and beats of the digital world.

After his first self-productions Die Hypnokommode and Flub-Dubs 1 and 2 Dr.Nojoke released his first album Flucht nach Barbylon in December 2004 on the label phonector. The second album Barbylon Tapes II followed in February 2006, also on phonector.

Since 2005 Dr.Nojoke has been working on technoid sound-sculptures based on his archive of self-made recordings he collected over the last years. He defines a deep, funky-minimal, dark-textural micro-cut-up-music, he calls Clikno.
In March 2006 the netlabel Direktschall released a four-track mp3-EP with the title cliknologic.
Live he performs and improvises with laptop, mouth harp, whistle pipe, radio, Kaoss-pad and sometimes the drummer Kersten Ginsberg, who was taught by Jaki Liebezeit (Can).
