IN 1992 - WHEN I´VE
FOUNDED THE T.G.I.F.-STUDIOS, A MIDI-RECORDING-STUDIO
- A DREAM BECAME TRUE. T.G.I.F. STANDS FOR THANK GOD
IT´S FRIDAY.
From the beginning the concept behind T.G.I.F. was to
concentrate only on the electronic music market. Because
of my experiences I knew that "normal" recording
studios in the last time often were too big and too
expensive and the equipment was not optimized for electronic
music bands even you had to pay for it. With T.G.I.F.
I felt free to produce my music independent and the
way I wanted, but I also produced a lot of other known
und unknown bands.
I reconstructed and expanded the studio three times.
Bands I produced were for example: ECO (together with
Heiko Daniel a friend of mine), ARMAGEDDON DILDOS, EVILS
TOY, STERIL... More than 50 CD´s were recorded
at T.G.I.F. From 1997 only recordings by ma own were
done at T.G.I.F. and I reduced my producer or engineering
jobs. In 1998 I changed my profession and sold the T.G.I.F.-equipment
in 1999 finally. The last production was the album PAX
- High Speed Digital Spirit processing.
