Born in 1966, he already made his first contact with electronic music in the late 70’s with Jean-Michel Jarre’s famous “Oxygene”-album. More records with synthesizer-music followed, made by artists like Tangerine Dream, Michael Rother, Vangelis, Kitaro or Klaus Schulze. The more he listened to these fascinating sounds, the more he was convinced that this was the kind of music he would like to play himself.

Klangwelt’s music combines rich, atmospheric soundpads, pulsating rhythms and catching melodies to both relaxing and stimulating instrumental tracks, professionally produced in wide-sounding 3-D-stereo.
