Suicide Lane

Suicide Lane was born in Ulm, Germany. In 1999 he moved to New Orleans where he ventured into theatrical sound design and electronic music production. Inspired by a performace of Electrical Spectacle at the Dragon’s Den he bought his first Theremin built by a local TV repair guy. From there, Suicide Lane started accumulating sysnthesis hardware and built a small bedroom studio.

Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and destroyed Suicide Lane’s home studio. In 2006 he moved to Atlanta and rebuilt his studio. In 2008 and 2009 Suicide Lane performed all-hardware sets at Cenci and Octane Coffee.

Suicide Lane’s musical inspirations lie somewhere between Berlin School and Detroit style techno. He likes anything from Joy Division to Autechre to Black Sabbath to Jeff Mills to EyeHateGod with a little New Orleans strutting mixed in. Suicide Lane prefers to use Elektron, Jomox, Roland and Moog equipment. He also loves the sound of string synthesizers.
