My name is Ansgar Stock, I´m a 10 years old boy from Germany. Besides the normal things kids do I have something special. I´m composing electronic music and so I´m likely the world´s youngest electronic musician.

Musically I like to combine classic electronic music in the style of Jean Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk with various other influences like Techno, Rock, Pop, etc.

At the age of 6 I decided to start playing synthesizers. By doing household chores and saving money and Dad buying second hand instruments for me I managed to establish a small home studio. From 2016 to 2019 I composed and recorded a dozen pieces of music and played live several times in school and at small festivals. I also had the great honour to compose a long track of music together with Tommy Betzler who is the former drummer of electronic music legend Klaus Schulze.

Special thanks to:

Matthias Stock, for teaching me, mixing my tracks, finding equipment bargains, making contacts, borrowing instruments and supporting me,
My family for support and patience,
Ron Boots for making this album release possible,
Thomas "Tommy" Betzler for drumming on Floating Minds,
Claus Jahn for collaboration with Springtime Memories and a lot of support in general,
Harald Gramberg for cover artworks and writing about me in Hippiesland Magazine.
