   About The Silicon Scientist
The Silicon Scientist (a.k.a. Stefan Bornhorst from Bremen/northern Germany) started to play the piano at the age of 8 (in 1980), and got in touch with "analogue" synthesis when messing around with the Commodore 64's SID chip in the 1980s. His first real analogue synth was the Korg MS10 in 1991, followed by more analogue synthesisers, string machines and a Mellotron when they were still affordable. Resulting from a continuous search for the ultimate sea of analogue sound, a large amount of solo recordings under the project name Dreams Encoded heaped up but apart from some giveaway CDs to friends and being played at some local clubs, these recordings remained unnoticed and unreleased. The real turnaround came in 1999 when The Convent needed a keyboard player. Two CDs and tours followed before The Convent decided to take a break in 2003. The times have changed but band activity continues, and another alter ego of The Silicon Scientist is now a happy member of the aspiring synth pop outfit Sonnenbrandt.

In 2005 and 2006, The Silicon Scientist has recorded a proper solo album called "Windows On The World" which has been released on vinyl by Anna Logue Records, accompanied by a blue 7" vinyl single called "Colourblind EP" and a CDR called "Bookmarks" which contains outtakes, demos and other stuff from the time in which the album was recorded. There are snippets from these releases in the player above, as well as other tunes which may or may not be released some day.

News will be posted here as soon as possible and the tunes in the player will change as well. So if you like what you hear it's recommended to check this space regularly!

Anna is
incredibly proud that Stefan / THE SILICON SCIENTIST has chosen to release his
second album entitled “Poly” again with Anna Logue Records. His first album
“Windows on the World” has received wonderful feedback, from both fans and
other musicians worldwide, and he is nowadays recognized as a great influence
to many other contemporary electronic music artists. Stefan is indeed one of
Germany’s most talented contemporary composers of electronic pop music and taking
into account that his time for music is rather limited and that his efforts in playing
and finalizing the debut album with SONNENBRANDT in 2008 also took away much of
his time for his solo project, his high quality output on all fronts is
outstanding. With “Poly” he proves his continuous ability to write substantial
and timeless melancholic electropop and electronic wave songs while most of the album’s sounds have been generated
on the wonderful Polymoog synthesisers, hence the title! “Silicon Beach” shows the Polymoog’s
great versatility to even create lovely South American flute sounds along the
all analogue warm and dark synth sounds. On “Meltdown”, fans of The Cure’s
Disintegration album will almost get a heart attack from joy – what a wonderful
track with real bass and acoustic guitar accompaniment! The album versions of "Oceans of
Green" and "Lost City" are reworked and remixed versions of the
tracks previously released on the “Colourblind EP”. This time Anna and THE SILICON SCIENTIST are
the CD "Bookmarks II" to
all copies which is definitely more than just a bonus: it contains 72 minutes
of outtakes from the "Poly" recording sessions, tracks from samplers,
early mixes of tracks from the previous album and tracks from the very first THE
SILICON SCIENTIST album "Inselwinter" which was never released. "Seven"
is based upon a demo recording by Marc Schaffer and was accordingly
