5U modular synthesizer
The past began in the ’80s. The discovery and enthusiasm for electronic music and electronic musical instruments. Instruments that were featured on record covers or posters. So mysterious, so inexplicably beautiful and unfortunately so unreachable…
The enthusiasm remained unchanged even at the beginning of the 2000s, but the accessibility has changed!
My first electronic musical instrument was a modular synthesizer consisting of ClubOfTheNobs and MoonModular 5U modules.
The enthusiasm for electronic musical instruments grew and expanded to vintage synthesizers, stingmachines, drummachines and various outboard equipment.

It was the moment to rethink the situation. It was time for a change, which should not become an extension in any case.
The decision was not easy – all the Moogs, Rolands, Korgs, Oberheims, ARPs and Sequentials had to go. Even the Modular…
It was a decision for a new beginning to give more scope to music and creativity.
