Born in a small town in Bavaria near the city of Nuernberg, Sven embarked on what was to be a lifetime of transitions from one part of the world to another. Life in one country lasted for several years until it was time to depart for the next. Cultures, languages, people, sounds...all changed often. Leaving everything behind was common, as all this was an intricate part of early life. However, there remained one constant, one thing alone Sven could rely on that served to fill any of the voids left behind...music. With influences ranging from Depeche Mode, New Order, Front 242, Pink Floyd, & Tangerine Dream, Sven's desire for musical prowess continues to take on a heavier emphasis on electronic elements whilst still retaining the musicality and richness of the composition.

In the early 90s, a friend lent him a mix tape of Sasha. Imbued with the early progressive sound, the music instantly left an impression in his mind. The eclectic blend of electronic sounds and rhythms seemed to be too good to be true, yet they were. Traditional types of music faded in comparison to this new form. The possibilities seemed limitless. Technology served as the enabler that allowed him to break free of the confines of standard music composition techniques and it continues to play an integral role in his productions. Digital signal processing, virtual studio technology, and outboard gear form the core of his studio and production processes. With several successful releases and a relocation to what is the heart of electronic music in Europe, Sven continues writing and producing in his Amsterdam studio. The collaborations with Medway carry on.

2008 is shaping up to what appears to be a promising year already, with No Step & Weiter So due out on Dutchie Music at the Miami Winter Music Conference. Two more tracks are scheduled for a June release on the excellent UK label Baroque Records, setting the pace for the coming summer months.
