Pero

Pero was born December 17, 1942. He was a hobby painter, super-8 film-maker and self-taught musician. He bought his very first KORG MS-20 synthesizer together with his son Karsten Rodemann (aka Graf Haufen) and started recording music for his own pleasure in early 1981. He added drum machines, effects and other synthesizers and keyboards in later years. His inspiration came from a deeply rooted love for musicians such as Klaus Schulze, Cluster and especially Tangerine Dream. Although he primarily performed and recorded for himself as a hobby (he worked in marketing and distribution for a food company), he released three tapes on Graf Haufen Tapes. He died after a long fight with cancer in 2002.
