Today is the 25th anniversary of the eighth company (i2dm GmbH) I founded. It needed a funky anthem. Here it is! :-)

Du hasst den Job und fühlst dich leer?
Willst weniger Druck, viel mehr Flair?
Du brauchst 'ne Crew mit richtig Drive –
Kein stumpfes 9 to 5?

Wir sind die mit dem Plan im Kopp,
Denken digital und machen nicht stopp.
I2DM – das ist kein Scherz,
Digitales mit Verstand und Herz!

Komm zu uns, zu I2DM!
Die Lösung für jedes Problem!
Wir machen Future, wir sind on fire –
Seit 25 Jahren, higher and higher!
Komm zu uns, zu I2DM!
Wir denken schräg, lösen das Problem.
Bei uns zählt’s Du - es zählt das Team,
Wir feiern 25 – it’s like a dream!

Ob Konzept, Kampagne oder Idee,
Bei uns läuft nix von der Stange, okay?
Wir sind mal laut und manchmal weird,
Doch am Ende wird geliefert – garantiert!

Komm zu uns, zu I2DM!
Die Lösung für jedes Problem!
Wir machen Future, wir sind on fire –
Seit 25 Jahren, higher and higher!
Komm zu uns, zu I2DM!
Wir denken schräg, lösen das Problem.
Bei uns zählt’s Du - es zählt das Team,
Wir feiern 25 – it’s like a dream!

Wir machen Systeme, wir machen Mut,
Wir machen den Montag wieder gut.
Kein Bullshit-Bingo, kein Orga-Krampf –
Bei uns hat selbst der Server Swag im Tanz.

Komm zu uns, zu I2DM!
Die Lösung für jedes Problem!
Wir machen Future, wir sind on fire –
Seit 25 Jahren, higher and higher!
Komm zu uns, zu I2DM!
Wir denken schräg, lösen das Problem.
Bei uns zählt’s Du - es zählt das Team,
Wir feiern 25 – it’s like a dream!

electronic music and keyboard player. 🌟 From an early age, I grew up in the world of sounds, and my heart always beat to the rhythm of rock and roll. Today I create songs in trance and techno styles, exploring the endless possibilities of synthesizers. My favorite instruments are: Yamaha MODX8 - a powerful synthesizer that opens the door to countless sounds. Roland Gaia 2 – perfect for creative experiments. Bass Station – giving my songs depth and character. I invite you to follow my musical journey! 🎶✨ #ElectronicMusic #Trance #Techno #Keyboardist #YamahaMODX8 #RolandGaia2 #BassStation

I'm now taking a six-week digital detox vacation.
We'll see and hear from each other again in 2026!
Happy Holidays!

"Redder" is a palindrome. Like "racecar" or "level". These pieces of music ain't.

My name is Volker Redder, online I go by "docredder." It all came about because I studied biology and computer science for a long time and received my doctorate as the crowning achievement of my academic career.
As a child, I sang Bach in the church's „Knabenchor Unser Lieben Frauen“ because my mother thought it was good for my soul. And it was, until, thanks to an excellent teacher, I realized that music is like mathematics. After that, I loved not only music but also mathematics and all sciences based on mathematics: physics, biology, chemistry, computer science. So, I went straight into the natural sciences and engineering. Yes, I studied a lot. However, a university career wasn't for me. I wanted to monetize the findings of the various sciences (you can't live on air and love alone) and founded over a dozen companies. Because who wants life to follow a clear formula? I certainly didn't. In addition to adventurous entrepreneurship, the subsequent career in politics (German Bundestag), and a growing family, I was constantly picking up the guitar or keyboard, which is what you do when you want to escape the chaos of everyday life.
Should I say I'm a virtuoso? No. That would be a lie. I'm just too lazy for that. Laziness, or in modern parlance, "efficiency," is a principle for me. And so I founded my "own studio," consisting of a lot of electronics and software. The hipsters call it DIY. I call it "not wanting to act like a big shot and book expensive recording studios." I'm a one-man orchestra, a chef-d'oeuvre who spends all day producing pop, rock, indie, and ambient mishmash until he finally finds it he likes. My menu? Pink Floyd, Genesis, Supertramp, Muse, Zappa, Miles Davis, and many more. Yes, all at once. I told you: mishmash.
There are guys who write music to become famous. Then there's me. I write music to keep myself from going crazy. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes there's melancholy in it, sometimes it's stories from literature or something sci-fi. Or from Tinder dates my daughters have told me. I mean, who hasn't wondered what "being in Tinder light" is? Exactly. I wrote it down. I use everything I can get my hands on: GarageBand, samples, my voice, AI voices, Udio, VirtualDJ, everything! I don't care if purists say it's no longer art. It doesn't matter, the main thing is that my music feels like a window you can look out of and discover something new again and again.
Every song becomes a little adventure. Sometimes I start with a line, sometimes with a feeling I can't shake. It's like an escape from reality, except in the end, there's no escape. And that's a good thing. This is how I stay grounded. Okay, grounded isn't the right word either. Let me put it this way: I've stayed true to myself. And I'm grateful for everyone who listens, shares, or comments.
It makes me feel like I'm not completely alone in this madness. So if you also like songs that don't follow the rules, I'd be happy if you joined in. After all, the world is crazy enough.
You have to fight that with music. I mean, that's logical, right?
