Me, the founder of this project und the only member to date was born and raised in a small town in germany which should remain unknown to the rest of the world but became very famous due to a very old castle built by an emperor in the middle ages.

I got my first guitar at the age of 10 and I am still checking out how to play it. I started writing and recording songs at the age of 15, using two cheap little tape recorders. In those days I began to listen to bands like Pink Floyd, Genesis or Yes. Those heroes opened up horizons for me. I really liked the melange of the dynamic arrangements, dramatic chord progressions mixed with a lyrical content that was far behind of what could be heard in the charts in those days. A little bit later I discovered Jazz, Blues, Folk and.........Frank Zappa.

It is a fact that I played in a Punk Band at the age of 16 only for a short time. At the age of 22 me and a couple of other guys founded the band "Lamia". This was my first progressive rock band I played in. I was the guitar player and we were mainly covering stuff by Genesis or Emerson Lake & Palmer but also did our first attempts writing our own material. Unfortunately we didn't have much success and I quit the band in 1994, still dreaming of recording my own songs. It is absolutely true that I started playing drums in 1995 and one year later I returned to my old band as their new drummer. We constantly wrote our own songs and played in small clubs. One studio album and a couple of live-CDs were produced during that time. The band self destructed in 1999. In between I played in some other bands as a drummer but those connections always didn't last very long.....

After a short, dark period in my life I began to write songs and record them using a 4-track tape recorder and a computer. This was the time when "Projection" was born and shortly after the first album "Time Flies" was released. From this time on I have fully concentrated on writing and recording songs. Luckily, I was able to spread my little brainchilds to a small and still increasing group of true listeners. Over the years I have developed my experiences in songwriting, recording and producing. Besides I have constantly upgraded my recording devices with no end in sight.......

Yes I'm a music junkie.

It's true that the tone of my answering machine is really in f-sharp.

People say that I'm a capricious kind of guy.

I'm able to cook a three course dinner by having four different kinds of vegetable and a microwave oven.

 Time Flies (released 1999)

Bad experiences have led to this album. It was my first one and the beginning of "Projection". It deals with issues such as the loss of a friend, broken relationships and disillusion. It is a dark album, in most parts presented through a guitar, an electric bass and a drum box.

 Touch (released 2000)

This album reflects a more positive vibe than its predecessor. The songs tell stories of surreal dreams, the unimportance of material things, sex without love and the aftermath of a broken love affair. The arrangements of the songs are much more diverse in comparison to the first album and the improvement of the sound quality on this album is quite audible.                                                                                                        One Of Three Kinds (released 2001)

The first unassertive look into the progressive-rock corner with the 21-minute title track. The album also features a coverversion of the Spock's Beard Song "Waste Away".  

  Book of Dreams (released 2002)

Altough the album takes a step further to the "progressive" direction, some other musical styles can be heard on this album such as swing or blues. For the first time a real drum set was used which opened up the opportunities for arranging the songs. Furthermore this album is the first attempt to create some kind of "concept" behind the songs and the album: All songs are connected through different chapters which accumulate the "Book of Dreams".

  Metamorphosis (released 2003)

"Metamorphosis" is a real concept album about regression hypnosis and what you can experience while you are hypnothized. The core of the album consists of a 25-minute track. The story's protagonist experiences a whole lifetime within a few minutes, while having a hypnosis session. Afterwards he truly believes he knows everything about the meaning of life.

  Behind the Cellar Door (released 2004)

During the recording of this album my mother died and this traumatic event had an enormous influence on the music and lyrics of this recording. Some of the songs are very sad but a spark of hope can also be noticed throughout the songs. This album comes in a very strong progressive outfit, consisting of dynamic arrangements, sometimes catchy melodies incorporated with extensive instrumental explorations.

  A Brief History 1999-2005 - re-recorded (released 2006)

At the end of 2004 I began to re-record some of the old songs from the previous albums since I was not complete satisifed with the arrangements and the sound quality on some of the recordings. It was hard to decide which songs should made it on the album. The list of songs got longer and longer and at the end I recorded everything on that list.

Finally a 140 minute Double-CD hit the streets reflecting the best material from 6 albums newly arranged with clearer sound. It is the most successful Projection album to date, artistically and relating to the number of sold copies.
