About

I’m a hobby music producer who has been releasing music online since 1998. The styles and techniques of music producing have been changed many times during these years but the main goal in my music creation is still the freedom to release whatever i like. You know, hobbies are the things you like to do most when you have nothing else to do. Or if you want to relax or just to do the thing you like the most. And music composition is the thing for me.

My desktopMy current gear in music making consists of an iMac running Logic Express 9 with some appropriate audio unit plugins. I have a cheap MK-4903 midi keyboard and Akai LPD 8 pad controller as input devices. For monitoring the sound i have a pair of small Wharfedale Diamond speakers and Sennheiser HD-650 headphones to ensure the high sound quality of my music.

My Pentacon vintage lensesI’m also a hobby photographer. I shoot photos just for fun with my good old Canon EOS 300D DSLR. Well there’s nothing special in shooting photos with a DSLR but i have specialized in shooting photos with vintage lenses. In addition to the normal Canon 18-55 kit lens i have two real vintage lenses from the 1970’s: Pentacon auto 2.8/135 MC and Pentacon auto 2.8/29 MC. Especially the Pentacon 2.8/135mm is my favourite lens and it seems to be my most used lens. It’s optical quality is surprisingly good and i like the manual and “analogic” feeling of the lens. And i love the bokeh effect of the lens! :) You must be wondering how it’s possible to use such an old piece of technology from the days of DDR in a modern DSLR camera? The answer is simple – with an M42 adapter which makes it possible to use old M42 lenses with modern cameras. I’m using an adapter made by Kood.

Since 2007, I have also been using my spare time on mapping the world on Open Street Map.
