1. Tell us how
your project(s) were started.
Long Distance Calling was started by Janosch and Jan. After a lot of jam sessions
Flo and Dave entered the band. I was the "missing piece" and entered
in March 2006. The idea of this band is just to do something different to the
music we did before (everyone of us has a metal background). But we never talked
about the "something different", we let the music just happen.
Kadrage is my solo project that is about creating ambient/drone/glitch textures. The concept and the way of creating the music was done by finding a name for this project. I use all sorts of audio material to create my own sound. The goal is to let the time go.
Suns Of Atacma was formed with Ralf the guitar player of doom masters Black Shape Of Nexus. We just went to the studio during Winter 2008 and started to let tour computers and synthesizers scream.
2. What does music, in its entirety, mean to you?
Everything. Life is music. Music is life. I listen to music as long as I can think and I can’t imagine to do something that is not connected to music.
3. What does art,
in its entirety, mean to you?
Art is a word that can be filled with lots of associations, and imaginations
what art is - or if something can be considered as art. I think there is one
thing you can say about art in general there is always an expression of the
artist and the impression observer, listener or whatever.
For me, art means a lot and is a great pool of different creative stylistics
that are all worth to be explored.
4. Who is your favorite auther and why?
I don’t have one favorite author. I am often that fascinated by the latest book (if it was good) I read, that I can’t say something about a favorite author. But there are some authors I read more then two books of, H. Hesse for example. The last book that was impressive was Homo Faber by Max Frisch.

6. As your worst

7. If your personna
were immortalized as a cartoon character, who would it be?
I am not that much into cartoons, but a samurai would be a cool character.
8. Do you think
there are conspiracies against the "everyday person"?
I don’t know. If I knew, it wouldn’t be a conspiracy anymore.
9. What do you
do with your spare time?
I surround myself with people I really like.
10. Please give
us your interpretation of "the meaning of life".
