The mirrors all whisper when you pass by, 
A shadow in silk where a man should lie. 
They say he was drowned in a river of ink 
But his tie’s still straight and his drink’s still pink. 

The safe’s wide open, the files are gone, 
Just three piano keys pressed all night long. 
The martini’s stirred, never shaken clean 
The only clue is the glove left between. 

"The ghost in the tuxedo 
Dances with the wives of the dead. 
You’ll see his face in the last place you look 
Staring from your own unmade bed." 

The widow wears black but her lips scream red, 
She hums his theme while she loads the lead. 
"He loved in minor keys," she’ll sigh 
Then the chandelier catches the glint in her eye. 

No fingerprints, just cufflink grooves, 
No corpse, just a hat left askew. 
The orchestra swells… the shot rings true 
But who pulled the trigger? The ghost or you? 

"The ghost in the tuxedo 
Never bled where the bullets landed. 
You’ll search every room ‘til the search is through 
Then find his card in your own jacket branded." 

The Ghost in the Tuxedo

With 13 years I got my first home computer, a Commodore 128. Soon I started making electronic music with it's famous SID chip and sound/rock monitor software.

I upgraded to an Amiga 500 and later to Amiga 1200, and was introduced into the 8-bit sampling world. Octalyzer, OctaMed where the most used tools, and a stereo 8-bit sampler module. The results were recorded to a tape recorder and shared among friends.

Then came the Synth and PC period. Bought a GEM Hyperkeyboard (accompainment stuff, with loadable sounds) and later the famous GEM S2 Turbo which is still part of the studio.
Software-wise Open Modplug Tracker was the center of the music production.

Now I'm producing Music and Sample packs using Renoise 3.1, Native Instruments Kontakt 5, Novation Impulse Midi Keyboard and the previously mentioned GEM S2 Turbo, using various VST instruments and effects and a huge library of samples.
