Hi, I'm Sven aka "Der Technomacher"...

Some of you might know me as "Al Bongo", which is the artist name that I'm using to publish some of my more chilled tunes. I created "Der Technomacher" so that I wouldn't shock listeners by mixing techno into their melodic chilled house playlists :).

Anyway, music production is a huge passion of mine, I'd even say it's an addiction. I grew up in a very small town in Germany. When I was a child, my grandfather used to play in a band and my parents were quite eager for him to teach me playing the piano. So I learned playing my first instrument as well as some basic music theory.

A few years ago, I moved from Germany to Australia. I remember one night, I was watching various Youtube music videos and I somehow stumbled upon a music production tutorial. I was instantly mesmerised. To me, the idea that you could combine simple wave forms into a complex and beautifully sounding electronic music track was just mind-blowing. I just couldn't stop and kept learning more and more topics around music production, sound design, mixing and mastering.

It has now been a few years since I started producing and my fascination for music production has only grown. I love the idea of making people happy by giving them a soundtrack to their daily lives in the form of house and techno tracks.
