About Me:

During the past few years im developing towards Nu Skool modern electronic and experimental and innovative underground dance music like: acid techno, drum & bass, freeform, old school, progressive house, trance ,techno and started my own solo project called CrowdedBeats www.myspace.com/crowdedbeats

Hybrid ideas always had a big impact on me. The original jazzrock movement that started at the end of the sixties wjith the legendary "Bitches Brew"sessions of Miles Davies was big inspiration on me. Later followed by Weather Report and the Zawinul Syndicate. I feel it's time to make a new hybrid music for the 21st century."Nowadays a lot of music that people listen, dance and relax to is created by the DJ Culture, Basically producers that program, sequence & remix. It's my desire to use some of the ideas from this culture, but in a new context: with real instruments played by improvising musicians. That way people can relate to it because it sounds a little bit like what they already heard. While on the other hand it will broaden their horizons, hopefully. Electronics and processed sounds will be a part of the mix.

As a musician im am not interested in using well-known song structures anymore. What i want to achieve is to create a platform for improvistaion with room for individual expression, i love spontaneous interaction where nobody is really dictating of forcing the direction. Anything can be lift-off point for that: Grooves, Ambiences, Short and simple meldies. Now that's the big challenge for me. and i hope ican contribute to the new and growing movement that marries contemporary jazz electronic music. Speaking of the dominance of rhythm in the music of today.
