It all began with his father′s performances. As a little boy Thomonic would accompany his father, an amateur musician who played saxophone, clarinet, flute, and sang, and his top 40 band on their travels through the music clubs of the German Democratic Republic and later to the post-unification parties in zoos and car salesrooms.

That is where Thomonic got to know the mystic beauty of live music. Inspired by these experiences, the desire to play a musical instrument grew in him. In line with his father′s wish he took up the clarinet when he was 10. That worked quite well for a time, but what Thomonic really wanted was to play the drums. When he was 13 he was given a small electronic drum kit. Thomonic′s brother-in-law then presented him with a complete sound system.

Now there was no stopping him. Thomonic hired himself out as an under-age DJ in a nightclub and as an electro-drummer in a hardcore band. So that his first spurs were not won in too one-sided fashion he also did service in the local brass band and in an ambitious school band, where his drumming skills were highly appreciated.

Around the same time an ageing drum-player from an orchestra tried to tame him with exercises on the snare drum, but failed miserably. The big, wide world was calling, so Thomonic left his home and his parents, to give himself the opportunity to be instructed in the finer secrets of the musician′s art in lands far away. A masterclass for music and the accompanying boarding school opened his ears. He even learnt how to sing, though he did not find life in a choir easy.

With like-minded colleagues he formed experimental bands and was fascinated to discover the world of improvisation. His fanatical admiration for the masters of jazz almost took him down the wrong road. Just in time he returned to his roots and realised the virtue of being open to all forms of music.

Musicology studies took care of the rest. Thomonic now really felt at ease and at the same time ready to take up the challenge of the piano. It proved however to be an unforgiving taskmaster. A different instrument had to found and acquired, an instrument which would unite in itself all those aspects of music which Thomonic had grown to love: the carefreeness of the clarinet, the aggression of the drums, the delicacy of singing, and the sonority of the piano.

At the end of a long odyssey Thomonic discovered the qualities of the bass. He took his first tentative steps on the acoustic bass guitar, before giving in to his partiality to electronic sound and taking up the six-stringed electric bass. Working from that basis he has been exploring the infinite depths of space and sound ever since ... on his own and unrestricted.

His debut "2011 Solo With Myself EP" was published on February 29, 2012 through Thomonic's label "Bassthology Records". The five-track EP can be ordered as CD or Download via several online shops. An audiophile red vinyl plus bonus track (altogether 6 tracks) is also available. Thomonic's first video, entitled "Back in Leipzig", can be seen on all relevant web platforms.

With his second record "2012/3 Duets & Trios EP", which has been released on February 1st, 2014, Thomonic reached a new artistic level. The little album contains 6 compositions or rather 3 duets and 3 trios. Every piece has been recorded with other musicians and instruments (organ, violin, basson, bass clarinet, drums, hurdy-gurdy, electric guitar, bagpipe). A video documentary, entitled "Making-of Thomonic's 2012/3 Duets & Trios EP", has already been published on January 3rd, 2014.

On January 7th, 2016 the third record "2014/5 Acoustic Quartets & Quintets EP" came into the world, this time exclusively in digital formats (download/streaming). Extraordinary: Thomonic played all (unplugged) instruments himself, meaning acoustic guitar, piano, drums, percussion and - of course - bass... acoustic bass guitar, to be precise. He even sang, although without texts. On April 2nd, 2016 the music video "Cruising across Southern Norway" came out as quasi-single release. It completed the EP Trilogy "Geographical Memories".

Thomonic went through old records he made in his early days as a music producer and rediscovered some rare tunes (from the period from 2002 to 2005). On July 28th, 2017 the cheerful melancholic album "Jugendsünden" ("sins of one's youth") has been released as well as a retro stylistic video documentary, both digital/online. The longplayer starts with 3 jazzy pop songs in German language (with singin' & rappin' Thomonic!) and continues with 8 solo piano miniatures (night music I - VIII). Main instrument is the Clavinova from Yamaha - an e-piano classic.
