Kangaroo MusiQue - Drollig wie immer

Auf meiner kleinen Homepage stelle ich alles vor, was mit mir irgendwie zu tun hat Meine Soundtrakker-Musiken vom Schneider / Amstrad CPC, meine CPC-Sammlung und natürlich auch meine gema-freien unter der CC-Lizenz stehenden Musiken, die ich als Kangaroo MusiQue und mit den “Die Drei Lenöre” so verbreche und verbrochen habe. Wer’s mag kann sich das alles kostenfrei runterladen. Wer’s nicht mag, kann es sich runterladen und dannach löschen – geile freie Welt.

Viel Spaß auf meiner Homepage wünscht Kangaroo MusiQue of HJT!

Und was gibt es sonst so über mich zu erzählen? Sicherlich eine Menge. Ob ich das alles hier breittreten möchte ist aber mehr als fraglich.

Freunde von mir, können sich hier auf der Homepage registrieren und sehen nach Anmeldung dann Dinge, die etwas persönlicher sind, als das, was man sonst so hier sieht. Das bezieht sich auf Bilder, Lebenslauf und was halt sonst etwas “privater” und eben nur für Freunde gedacht ist

Kangaroo im Wandel der Zeit

Who i am, how it started

My name is Thorsten, i was born 1971 in Stuttgart, Germany. My first computer was a Sinclair ZX81 i got from a neighbour and i also got a 64K-Memory-Expansion-Kit later for it.

The first contact with the Schneider / Amstrad CPC was 1985/86 at school at the LSH Wiesentheid in Bavaria where we had six CPC 464 and later also one CPC 6128 in a computer-room for educational use. A few of us at school where in the computer-room allways we had some spare-time and we copied Tape-Games and sold them to our classmates Also we tried to programm in Basic and to get rid of some copy-protections those stupid tape-games had.

As i played clarinette and piano very early, i started to compose my own songs and tried to get them on cpc with those nifty sound-commands. I also tried some music-software wich was available for the cpc like “The Music Studio” and also the Soundtracker from MTI. But none of them where good enough. After BSC coded his Soundtrakker for the CPC i started to use this software and most of my sounds are done with the Soundtrakker 1.x and Soundtrakker 128K.

Over 450 sounds where coded by me from 1992 till today, and still growing. A few of them can be downloaded here in the “my music”-section. I will upload all of them one day if i’ll find time to convert them to MP3.

My nickname, and where it comes from.

The most people on CPC think, that my nickname “Kangaroo MusiQue” comes from the kind of music i compose or how i act on parties. Jumping around is surely one of my favourite hobbies, but the story about my nickname is this:

In the middle 80s i fell in love with a very cute guy at our school, called Dirk. He was always wearing those “Roos” (www.kangaroos.com) , some sport-shoes wich where very popular in the 80s but also very expensive. I always wanted to get some “KangaROO”-Shoes, to be a little bit “closer” to my boyfriend, but my parents didn’t want to pay for them. So i gave me the nickname “KangaROO”.

As i started to compose music on the amstrad cpc, i met a very nice french boy, who was visiting germany for a few months and also was in my class at school. Because i composed some songs on the piano for him (he also was very cute), and i wanted to dedicate all other work to my first lovers i called myself “Kangaroo MusiQue”. So the whole damn nickname is just about sex
