Dataman
Andreas Seibel was born in the Ural, Russia, and made
his first musical experiences at the age of nine when he learned
to play recorder (flute) and organ. Later he got in touch with the
Amiga and some tracking-software and started to produce music together
with a friend of him. He built up a little studio and put money
into hardware until 2002. One year later he sold everything to finance
his own record-label 'Jerkbox' which unfortunately did not establish
and accordingly was discontinued in the beginning of 2004. Nevertheless
Andreas had had releases on 'Thunderground' and 'Vernacular' under
his former pseudo 'Frakmatik'. Since 2002 he is known as 'Dataman'
and now also performing live on stage. Musically Andreas has been
through nearly everything. Techno, Hardcore, Trance, Minimal...everything
is familiar to him. He doesn't want to set down on a specific style,
and so he is always searching for new and fresh sounds, recombining
them with a glimpse of experimentalism. The works of 'Dataman' are
mostly based on a simple but very exciting concept: rhythmic elements
are set into order and produce a continuous driving basement. First
you think everything is linear but then you'll realize that the
orthogonal structures move and seem to 'live'. The evoking anti-correctness
clarifies the human nature of those machines. Erroreousness and
inaccuracy are inevitable but lovely characteristics of human beings.
