Dave first entered stage in 1986, as keyboardplayer of the electronic
duo Solaris. Several electronic duos and trios followed. Twilight
Network for example. In 1994 he co-founded the psychedelic rockband
Liquid
Visions. They released 5 albums and some singles on several labels.
In 1997 he founded Zone
Six to create spontaneous psychedelic spacerock trips. Zone Six are
still existing and released many albums.
In 1998 Andi (Growing Seeds) and Dave formed the studioproject Weltraumstaunen
to record some excellent freak outs. Two albums were released on Nasoni-Records.
In 1998 he moved to Bayreuth (Bavaria) to fill the drummers seat in the
spacerockband Growing
Seeds. But in early 1999 they gave up and he went back to Berlin.
They just released one vinyl-single on Pleitegeier-Records. In early 2003
he left Liquid Visions.
There was also a little episode with a nice ambient, drum'n'bass and dub-project
called Space
Shuttle Pilots, but sadly without any proper release.
Sula's first solo-album Dreamer was released on Nasoni-Records in 2002.
More albums followed. Dave played in several projects, such as Psychedelic
Monsterjam, together with Ax Genrich on guitar and Mani Neumeier
on drums (both from Guru Guru). Two live-CDs were released on
Sunhair-Records. In 2003 he co-founded the psychedelic-postrock-project
Südstern
44, together with Ellipopelli (ex Growing Seeds) and Julius K (ex
Zone Six). There was one album on Nasoni-Records and one CD-R released
by the band.
In late summer 2006 he moved to Austria and founded his label sulatron-records,
played guitar in the young local rockband Alice
Dog and has started a project called Interkosmos,
with Sergio Ceballos (guitar and vocals, from RIP KC, Spain) and Bernhard
Fasching (aka Pablo Carneval, drums, from The Blowing Lewinsky). Another
short time project was born with the saxophone-wizard Mario Rechtern and
spontaneous guests: Das
Alte Haus (only one CD-R released on the NY-based Jazz-label Tiger
Asylum).
He
also played some gigs as guitar- or bass-player with the Øresund Space
Collective in Germany and Norway.
And in late 2009 started a new band called Electric
Moon, with Lulu (Lulu
