back to 1998 and 2000. Today he designs music and sounds for several Roland products and
tours around the world with his trademark breakbeat-mix sound, to show everybody how the
products are supposed to be used. He has extensive experience in most musical styles
(everything from hard electronica to hip-hop and Rn'B), and is also a lead singer/rapper in
several bands.
Born and raised in the Ruhrvalley which used to be the biggest industrial area of germany Hans
interest in noise and rhythm came quite naturally.
Today he runs his own company Digital Audio Design and creates samples, patches as well as
patterns and demo songs for Roland and other companies.
He also works as a consultant and productspecialist for Roland and as a freelance writer for the
german KEYBOARD magazine and lives in a little house with his wife, two cats and a dog
named Gaku.
