I am a child of the 80s. Born in 1971, I spent the formative years of my youth in the 80s. From a musical point of view, it was this decade that laid the foundation for many of today's genres and was therefore something very special. With Synthpop, Acid, House, New Age, Freestyle, Breakdance, Rap and also Punk, it is the electronic genres that fascinated me in my youth. I also discovered classical EM during this time. Whoever knows my music knows that all these styles are part of my music today.  
With my 2020 album "Beyond the Neonlights" I remember the time of my youth in the 80s. Rather, it is the elements of the music of that time that are important to me and that I transport into the sound and possibilities of today. Thus "Beyond the Neon Lights" has become a maximally varied electronic album. And it should be. Because I owe that to the good old 80s.

"Both Sides of the Moon" is his first double album with over 120 minutes, 100% new music. So no remixes and no live recordings. "Both Sides of the Moon" is on the one hand a homage to the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing on July 21st 1969. As the title of the album suggests, it's about the two musical souls in him that make up his music: Classical electronics and modern club music. Sometimes dark, sometimes melancholic, sometimes playful, sometimes serious. Kitsch is also allowed. But please with style.
All this is united on "Both Sides of the Moon" to a whole and thus his current album has become very diversified. Furthermore the sound is more open and even more dynamic. Sometimes a bit wider. Altogether less complicated. Not so full. It offers more space for peace, but also more power in the rhythmic pieces.

With „Cosmoclimax“ moonbooter proves that his typical rhythm-oriented and danceable Electronic Music also works in a lying position. What does that mean: The music of his latest album has been composed for a live-concert at Planetarium Bochum, which Bernd presented in public first on February 14th, 2009 to a capacity crowd.
With melancholic melodies, driving percussions, broad choirs, catchy sequences and a skilful mixture of electronic and acoustic sounds moonbooter abducts us to unknown galaxies. Each song holds several bows and mostly ends differently than expected after the intro. At first. some songs sound trendy but then end up in a homage to classical EM. This time, Bernd approaches his typical theme “space” in a different way this time and leaves technical aspects far behind. Concerning sound, “Cosmoclimax” offers to the interested auditory a special transparency and many hidden details, which make this album an exciting experience also after repeated hearing.
”Cosmoclimax” is music to dream, feel and experience.

New harmonic electronic tracks, sometimes sounding like Jarre, sometimes with a lot of rhythms. A typical Moonbooter release, with a lot to discover inside the music.

When I played my first concert at Zeiss Planetarium Bochum in February 2009, the feedback from the audience and guests was more than positive. So, I of course accepted the invitation of Planetarium Bochum and the host schallwende e.V. for the year-end concert 2010. Only having short preparation time in 2009, I already knew the date for this year’s concert in summer 2010. Highly motivated I produced the music for this concert with the title “HELLO 2011” during the last months and the project “Cosmologica” developed. This title can be regarded as homage to my albums “Cosmoclimax” and “Teralogica”. And that on purpose: “Cosmologica” is supposed to continue the naïve-coltish ideas of my debut album and moreover owns the elegant and mature moonbooter-sound of the latest albums. Furthermore, “Cosmologica” should fit into the well known fantastic Planetarium-atmosphere without denying my rhythm-oriented sound. I refused all my knowledge about Space Music, as pure spheres and flats were not my intention. Something should happen. Music should be heard, felt and experienced. That already worked with “Cosmoclimax”. No rules. I was only inspired by my imagination of what I wanted to listen to underneath the starry sky. Scientific and partly philosophic lecture about quasars, the interstellar medium, black holes and much more from more than 200 episodes of “Alpha Centauri” helped in a way. So, I spent some summer nights outside observing the sky to sketch musical ideas instantly. That was fun which also reflects in the music. I automatically used more acoustic instruments and played even the guitar parts myself. Together with electronic sounds a symbiosis had been created in which both worlds cannot be differentiated. These differences have been continued consequently with partly melancholic but also humorous melodies. “Cosmologica” became a captivating space album, which convinces musically and sound-technically.

The story of COSMOPHONICA is dealing with the time in billions of years, when there will be no more lightning stars in our universe and anything became a dark and boring cold place. Long time before, black holes fed of the last material around and galaxys are drifting aimlessly away in the unending cavity of space. What will happen at that time of dark solitude? Will anything end in a big rip or big crunch? Or will anything be merged into something new? What will happen to our immortal souls? Will scientists fathom that miracle of our being one time? Many questions, but there are no answer. All we can do is to live our precious time on earth as good as we can. COSMOPHONICA is an intelligent but highly entertaining electronic opus depending to this dark future scenario. Hope, loneliness, euphoria, reflectivness, longing and fun are emotions to describe the music on this conceptalbum. Listen carefully to it and find Your own emotions, enjoying this very special trip to the last days of our future.

With the new album Cosmoromantics moonbooter continues his well-known Cosmo-serial. Following the last two releases Zeitenwende and Still Alive the electronic musician from the Eifel applies himself to cosmic themes for the fourth time. With Cosmoromantics he has his sight especially on the history of the Russian cosmonautics. In more than 70 minutes moonbooter abducts the audience into his own soundscapes and as usual puts well incorporated rhythmic spots in place. Overall natural sounds appear fewer, electronic sounds dominate the event. One romantic note runs like a common thread through the complete concept album. Thereby Cosmoromantics is kept together by classical and also modern sequences. Moonbooter masters this symbiosis more than almost anybody else. Again, Cosmoromantics sounds fantastic, great and wide. Wellness for your ears.

Cosmoronantics is a potpourri electronic album, which uses the complete range of colours. Once loud and dominant, once cautious and silent, but always most entertaining. And this even after the umpteenth replay.

Cosmosonic is already moonbooter‘s sixth Cosmo-album. Always, the Cosmo-series has been composed specially for planetaria without following the cliche of monotonous space music. Likewise with his 2018th album „Cosmosonic“. This album is dominated by modern strains with a vintage touch. But also the piano, guitar, chants and choirs are in the focus of moonbooter’s creation. „The gloomy vocals in the last track „Follow me“ are my own voice which I process until they became part of the big picture.“ Cosmosonic consists of 12 sings which merge at meaningful parts. „Some songs demand a pause which the listener should get.“ Though, the native Eifeler synthesiast emphasizes, that no sound off the rack are used: „All carrying strains on my new album are programmed manually. Almost only real synthesizers have been used. The computer only assisted for recording, mixing and composition. So, each sound has its unique touch.“ Listeners will recognize this instantly. Everything fits harmonically. There are no disturbing contrasts. Cosmosonic sounds gently and at the same time powerful and absolutely dynamic. HiFi-lovers will again be excited by moonbooter’s sound, as the album is also available as uncompressed, original studio sound of 48 kHz and 24 bit. Moreover, two guest musicians appear on the album: the australian guitarist Alex Bellwood is responsible for the guitars in two tracks, already known for his hawaiian sounding guitar soli from past moonbooter albums. The german drummer Gérôme Losch supported the song „Cosmic Thunder“, an homage to Krautrock, with his percussions. „This guarantees an additional inspiration and fun during the production process and the result is even more diversified.“Many songs on Cosmosonic  are clearly danceable, on purpose! „When people sit in their armchair enjoying my music and move their feet confidently from time to time, that’s what I am aiming at.“ Melancholia, euophoria, relaxation, fun, demand, desire, take wing and absolute freedom are only words, but which are the best description for the album. Maybe you can complete the list!

„It’s high time to return to my roots, the danceable, electonical music. In the beginning I had no precise concept in mind but it developed independently over the years.” moonbooter’s second album is therefore dominated by old analogue-synths, vocoders, aprs and electronical FX-sounds. Bernd skilfully combines the worlds of NewAge and EM with currently danceable elements. “I had a lot of fun playing with these contrasts, to combine various combinations and to experience the results.” “Devided” is made for those who enjoy listening to modern EM apart from ambient including some more beats.
