Christian Lotter, born in 1967 in St. Pölten, had his first contact with a musical instrument at the tender age of 4, and even then the white and black keys were closer to him than the classic recorder. His musical education started with a melodica and led him over several years on the accordion to the classic Hammond organ including foot bass, and then on to synthesizers and jazz piano. With the appearance of the first affordable workstations for electronic music production at the end of the 1980s (Atari 1040 with Cubase), the course was set for specializing in digital arrangement, sequencing, sampling and later hard disk recording. With more than 500 live performances and 30 years of experience in the studio, Christian brings along tools for many musical styles and production. Keyboarder among others for: Totgeleben, Pictures of the Rocky Horror, Uhrwerk, Men´s Club Fresh Freddie, Triangle (Top-40), Mr. Spokk needs no fridge, Big Apple, Julian Flat Seven, Martin Wöber, Franky Schirz, Michael Pobic, and much more Publications: Fresh Freddie - The Floating Life of Mark, MC (keyb) - 1991 Fresh Freddie - Capital Vaudeville, Live at the Forum, DVD - 1991 Fresh Freddie - The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, CD (keyb | engineer | producer) - 2006 Fresh Freddie - Santa Fe Snake, CD (keyb | engineer | producer) - 2009 Fresh Freddie - Gin Tonic in Heaven, CD (keyb | guit | engineer | producer) – 2021 Markus Sis – Nucleus Affairs, EP (keyb | guit | engineer | producer) – 2022
