Hi, You want to know someting about me? Here we go:

Who i am, how it started: My name is Norman from Stuttgart, Germany.

I do not draw nor paint. So don't ask :-) I do Music.. yes music (sometimes noise).. i like listen to it... but i love to compose and play music on my own, because then i hear exactly that what i personally like most.

Started with some few piano lessons as a child and a seven year enduring hate-love to my clarinet i started to use a computer to generate tones and sound. My first computer wich was able to play sound was an Schneider (Amstrad) CPC where SOUND-commands in BASIC could be used to obtain a few tones. Over 450 chip-sounds where coded by me from 1992 till today, and still growing. A few of them can be downloaded here on my homepage. I will upload all of them there one day if i'll find time to convert them to MP3. The next step to the synthesizers was only a small one.

As i have used hardware-synths before i now mostly use virtual synths (SoftSynths) on my computer. Saves spaces and nerves :-) With my move from Stuttgart to Dettingen an der Erms i stopped to make music with real synthesizers, cause there was no space for the hardware anymore. But i now have changed a small room in the celler to a 'music-room' where i can run riot at ease.

Over the years a lot of things originated wich are very nice, not really nice but although are enjoyable in some kind. I personally love all my pieces of music very much - otherwise i wouldn't have done them :-) Retrospective on my old tunes i see some enchancements - no matter in i wich direction.

I always have composed music for myself - for relaxing and also for anger management :-) Sometimes with others, but mostly alone. There are several categories of my music and those you'll find here.

My nickname, and where it comes from:

The most people think, that my nickname 'Kangaroo MusiQue' comes from the kind of music i compose or how i act on parties. Jumping around is surely one of my favourite hobbies, but the story about my nickname is this: In the middle 80s i fell in love with a very cute guy at our school, called Dirk. He was always wearing those 'Roos' (www.kangaroos.com) , some sport-shoes wich where very popular in the 80s but also very expensive. I always wanted to get some 'KangaROO'-Shoes, to be a little bit 'closer' to my boyfriend, but my parents didn't want to pay for them. So i gave me the nickname 'KangaROO'.

As i started to compose music, i met a very nice french boy, who was visiting germany for a few months and also was in my class at school. Because i composed some songs on the piano for him (he also was very cute), and i wanted to dedicate all other work to my first lovers i called myself 'Kangaroo MusiQue'. So the whole damn nickname is just about sex :-)
