Sounds like ralfsgar

Born in Düsseldorf -  well-known as a fashion and art city in the west of Germany and home of legendary electronic pioneers Kraftwerk – Ralfsgar is a classically trained musician, composer and multi-instrumentalist. He started eight years old learning to play several instruments. First of all  piano,  2 years later drums, vibes and other mallets/percussion and E-bass, too. He participates in ensembles like "Youth Symphony Orchestra Düsseldorf" & "Düsseldorf Percussion“. He started a strong interest in electronic music in parallel to the growing scene of Electronic Music, Techno and Trance in Germany in the 80‘s/90’s what shaped his youth. After a few years of abstinence in the music business for various reasons, Ralfsgar has been creative and composing again since 2018 although he always had the sound in his heart…
His goal is not in particular to compose in classical way. He calls it on his own, sound paintings. He combines  different styles in single songs  to evolve a special experience like classical pianos surrounded with spheric pads and lush beats as much as acid basslines with breakbeats. 
Uniting different styles develops something new. It is not uncommon for his music to have a conveyed message or criticism or to hold up a mirror. Ralfsgar’s music is influenced by Jean-Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk, Sven Väth as much as Aphex Twin and other iconic musicians. Ralfsgar lives and creates his sound paintings in Düsseldorf, Germany.

- History: 
1980s - Casio VL-tone, Wasp synth, Moog Concertmate MG-1, 2 track compact cassette recordings: tape to tape mixing ... emergence of Ding Dong. Revelled in the limitations in lo-fi sonic pallette and student budget...
1990s - Upgraded to 4-track compact cassette recordings... Casio CZ1000.
2000s - finally onto DAWs & xmachines & budget soft/hard synthesis & quirkiness in the Hikari Monos......Cakewalk>Sonar>Logic

Original pieces created using a mixture of four polyphonic CraftSynth version 1 hardware synth engines from Modal Electronics; a CraftSynth version 2 wave-table hardware synth, also from Modal Electronics,  Garage Band's software synth, PLUS the Codex software synth and the Element Software synth from Waves Audio. And the latest addition, a Korg Volca FM digital synthesiser.

New additions include a Korg Volca Keys synth and the tiny but amazing Korg NTS-1.

And at last, I've got my hands on a Modal Skulpt!

I try to mix and match these synths together in the pieces that I create, producing some quite unique sounds from my home-made synth array.

Depeche Mode meets dark soundtrack music with a bit of EDM & dark ambient thrown in for good measure.
80's & 90's remixes done in a darker and more modern fashion.
I love layered vocals and music that always has something going on in the background.  Bored of cookie-cutter electronic music, I strive to build soundscapes that are deep and complicated.

Seeking collaborations and remix opportunities.

Hello everybody! I am a longtime fan of electronic synthesizer music. Here I will repost the creations I like the most and upload some tracks from my collection. The composers who wrote them deserve a big respect, and I hope that you will be able to appreciate them as well. Thanks for your interest in me and them!
