German rock bass player and multi-instrumentalist, and a key figure of the Frankfurt am Main Prog/Krautrock scene. Owner of [l49081]/[l823839], and long-term partner of Silke Hauck.
Died December 27, 2019 at the age of 70.
His first professional band was Medusa, who later changed into the second incarnation of Nine Days’ Wonder. After that Michael had the short-lived pop-rock band Nerve (only documented by two songs on one of the Rock Offers LPs). He then became a pioneer in new forms of synthesizer music releasing three very different solo albums, as well as working under many aliases and in incognito projects making soundtracks and disco music. Alongside all this he also became an important promoter, producer and engineer on the Frankfurt music scene.
