You walked in like a late-night sonata,
All aching chords and unresolved grace.
I knew the end before the first stanza -
Your hands on the keys, that look on your face.

The sharps were too perfect, the flats too sly,
A melody built to collapse from within.
I mapped every note where the fractures would lie,
And still let the crescendo begin...

"You kill me in C minor,
Such a delicate way to die.
The crescendo of your lies -
My favorite symphony.
Play me one last refrain,
Let the strings cut like knives,
I’ll bleed out in 3/4 time..."

The bridge was a trap dressed in rubato,
Your ritardando - such cruel hesitation.
I counted the beats where you'd finally betray me,
Still swayed in your arms at the fermata's temptation.

Now the diminuendo of our final breath,
You cradle the gun like a lullaby.
Darling, in death -
At least we'll stay in key...

"You kill me in C minor,
The most beautiful crime.
Your cadence of decline -
My last lullaby.
The police will find
A score stained with red wine,
And your fingerprints in every line..."

"Maestro... take it from the top again."

You Kill Me in C Minor

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.
