InfluencesStrong influence on my work has the classical electronic music, particularly the early sound-paintings of Vangelis, J.-M. Jarre, Kraftwerk and the new wave /synth pop music of the 80.. years like Talk Talk, Gary Numan, A Flock of Seagulls, Howard Jones, Human League, T.Dolby, Paul Hardcastle, OMD, Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Saga, Yello, Trevor Horn (Buggles, FgtH, Art of Noise, Propaganda) and many more.

In addition, the most inspiration comes from the RetroSound machines themselves.

   About RetroSound
RetroSound reveals the secrets of electronic music of the 1970ies and 80ies featuring the legendary sound of vintage synthesizers and drum machines of that time. With these instruments music history was made! I want these legendary sound machines not to be forgotten and their legacy uphold!
RetroSound was created in 1998 as a sound-design project. I developed several sound-sets for synthesizers. Since I have turned back to the roots of electronic music. I dedicate myself to the goal of bringing back the long forgotten sound of 70ies and 80ies classic electronica.
All tracks are played by hand on hardware. I do not use software sequencers and synthesizers

Hallo Marko,

wie geht's dir? Lieben Dank für deinen Kommentar. Leider habe ich im Augenblick wenig Zeit für meine Musik, darum habe ich auch nicht so wirklich neue Sachen am Start...

Liebe Grüße

Gitte ^^

Wenn ich sehe (und höre), wie viele gute Musiker und Bands es hier gibt, die die Stars locker in den Schatten stellen können, frage ich mich, warum sie es noch nicht geschafft haben.

Dir wünsche ich auch ein schönes und erholsames Wochenende! :)

hi danke fürs adden,

deine stücke sind wirklich sehr interessant anzuhören, ich finde es klasse das du diese alten geräte am leben erhälst indem du sie spielst, muss eine ziemliche action sein alles live zu bedienen, ich bin trotzdem froh das es midi gibt und software-sequencer sie machen das leben leichter. also nochmals tolle stücke gefallen mir sehr gut.

have fun !!

Vielen Dank für das Lob!

Deine Videos sind einfach spitze! Du bist einer der wenigen (wenn nicht sogar der einzige), die zeigen, was man aus Synthesizern alles rausholen kann. Und mir gefällt das sehr! :)

Heey Retrosound
Long ago we were a normal rock and roll band. You know like: 2 guitars, a bass, drums, vocals and no synths.
Then after we saw you films on youtube, we got extremely inspired and we wanted to hook up with some analog synths. We now got the juno 106 and juno 6. You are a great inspiration and you have the most beautiful collection of analog synths we ever have seen.
