Born in 1969 in Koblenz in the year of the moon landing and the Woodstock climax, the Schenkendorf school leaver discovered the Commodore 64'er in 1984 and earned it from the communion money for approx. 1200 DM incl. datasette.

Development from hobby musician to music producer The program Soundmon by Chris Hülsbeck was published in a C64 magazine, the first computer generated sounds captured Chris Korte. Fascinated by his father's record collection in which he endlessly searched Kraftwerk, OMD and Eurythmics, the step to the Amiga computer did not fail. The digital four voices and a placement in one of the few sound competitions among the first 5 places were still not enough. So he joined forces with the programmer Armin Sander and released the very first demo diskette in the scene called "Abortion" with six soundtracker tracks (KICKPD 214). The cooperation of the two brought about a revolution at that time: the "Oktalyzer", which conjured eight voices out of the hardware limitation of the Amiga's Softwaremässig Acht, which was then published in 1989 by the Mayer publishing house. In 1994 he contributed the complete music for the game "Death or Glory". There were also smaller activities in the PC demoscene (e.g. Xography and Agnostic Front).

Small successes The first Maxi release until today was on Suck me Plasma (SUCK49) with the title "World of Landru" together with Robert Csanyi as "Happy Ravers". Today Chris Korte realizes himself in different projects of the most different music kind, sometimes as a singer in a band with live appearances (A:FACT) or only as a composer. The most important thing for him is that the "electronic sound" never gets a raw deal. In 2004 he won a remix competition from the band "Snap!" which was released on a double vinyl maxi "Cult of Snap!
Today the 49 year old is busy with his project "Chris Korte" and working on new releases. Do we hope that it will finally be finished ?

Releases: Game: Death or Glory (Amiga) (complete music)
Maxi: Happy Ravers - World of Landru
