This story could not be more crazy but after 33 years I could my so beloved original ARP 2600 back by an accidental find. It is one of the last synthesizers which where sold until 1980. It is the orange version with the so versatile 3620 keyboard with an extra LFO. And it is looking like a brandnew item after all this years. Why? Well this synthesizer was bought around 1980 buy a church organplayer in the city of Mühlheim in the german Ruhrgebiet. I am not sure if the organist left the community or passed away, but he definetly used this instrument just for a very few times. Then it was burried in the church organ itself and forgotten in time. Until the priestess of the church found it in summer 2021. The people there quickly understood, what treasure they had found. They offered it in the internet and I bought it 2 weeks ago. Now my buddy is back home in my studio and since I also own a Korg ARP 2600FS, the best replica of this true classic, that you can get for your money, I am able now to compare this both classics. What a battle. So please expect soon another cool episode of Freak-Out-Your-Synth on my YouTube channel and a test for Amazona.de, which I am actually writing. Great things are coming soon. I am happy and pumped about that. Until this moment comes, please watch a short video about my lastest find on YouTube.
Enjoy!
I’ll be back to you soon.

Four days of electronic superpower are over. Superbooth 2021 was THE event, we all waited for so long. After 2 1/2 years it happened again in Berlin and it was a full success. Nearly 140 companies presented their latest instruments and innpvations around the field of electronic music. And I was in the middle of that field and filmed like a whirlwind with my camera and captured everything I could get: interviews, music, the atmosphere and good mood. You can watch my impressions in four very long episodes of FREAK-OUT-YOUR-SYNTH on YouTube. Click on the videos to jump over…and take some time watching it.
You will need it 😉

Hello together,
I am happy to announce the third episode of my synthesizer tutorial series FREAK-OUT-YOUR-SYNTH.
In this episode I present the Prophet-10 analog synthesizer from SEQUENTIAL. It is a beauty and a beast in one instrument. After a short introduction I present the several modules, like the oscillators or the very versatile filter module. It is like a life demonstartion. The sound was directly recorded during the film session. The video ends with a brandnew episode of ONE-SYNTH-ONLY In this video you can see the Prophet in action. I recorded a complete piece of music with this synthesizer only.
So enjoy the video now, leave your comments, like it and subscribe to my YouTube channel.

Hi Guys,
a new video is online in my YouTube series MY STUDIO ALBUMS.
In part 1 I’ll speak about the making-of my third solo-album KALEIDOSCOPE, which I had composed, performed and produced in 1989. I also present the Korg M1 Workstation that I had used heavily during my recording-sessions and in my concerts. AND…I’ll speak about some nice memories from that time. The whole thing is followed by FERNE ZIELE in full album length accompanied by some rare video footage from my concert 1989 in Dresden where I had played some tracks from this album.
