About
Name: Felix Marc Lang
Birthday: September 5th, 1975
I've been making music since 1994. The initial pieces consisted exclusively of synthesizer -, drumcomputer and sampled sounds, which were steered via a software sequencer. Since 1994, there have been different stylistic changes and developments from Hard Trance, to House and Rave and later a symbiosis of Dream House and Trance.
The developments in the creation of own music went hand in hand with a regular commitment as DJ. First limited to parties and school happenings, I soon became a resident DJ in a local club, which gave me the opportunity to present my material in a broad public.
In 2001, I joined efforts with my long-time friend Torben Wendt in his Dark Wave Group Diorama as producer, background singer and live keyboard player. This co-operation brought forward some amazing musical pieces and experiences. The latest release is called “A different life” which is already the 6th album.
During
a support tour with Diorama for VNV Nation in April 2005, I connected to Vasi
Vallis who was playing live keyboards for VNV. After the tour and when his former
project NamNamBulu fell apart, we decided to start a collaboration under the
name of Frozen Plasma with me as the lead singer. We produced
a first single “Hypocrite” in November 2005 and a first album “Artificial” in
April 2006 followed by an EP “Emphasize” in October 2006.
In August 2008, I released my first solo album under the name of Felix
Marc. It is a collection of personal songs not featured in one of the
other projects which had been created during the 10 previous years.
In music, I try to combine harmonic melodies with dancable rhythms without becoming primitive. The lyrics are about self-experiences and self-impressions, and sometimes even show parallels to social topics. The songs have mostly a melancholic character and orient themselves audibly at the sound of the 80's.
If I had to describe my music or compare it to existing bands, I would probably name the following: Diorama, Mesh, Falco, Wolfsheim, Camouflage, and various artists from the 80's, e.g. Pet Shop Boys. A lot of inspiration is acquired through my interest in poetry, especially Irish poets like W.B. Yeats, and romantic painters like Caspar David Friedrich, Johan Christian Dahl, and Ernst Ferdinand Oehme. I also collect ideas while traveling or spending time abroad.
