Funkenstrøm

Biografie (english)



It took a long time till Sound and noise evolved to a real passion....including a short, not fi nished computer-science study, to learn about the techniques of modern communication. Later his way of education changed directly to music- and communication science. This helped among other things to understand melody and sound designs practically, to compose and to open the “theoretical” gate to interpret the art in general in a different way, like his own tracks too.
The style of funkenstrøm is coloured from diverse house and techno artists. It’s a mix between burning techno, experimental sounds, housy synthlines and a real passion for melody. This creates a very electronic style with elements of acoustic phrases.
With the combination of his performance as liveact the club oriented sound works on the dancefl oor.
