Christian Lotter, born in St. Pölten in 1967, first encountered 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 training began with a melodica and led him, over several years, to the accordion, the classic Hammond organ, including a foot bass, and then to synthesizers and jazz piano. With the release of the first affordable workstations for electronic music production in the late 1980s (Atari 1040 with Cubase), the stage was set for him to specialize in digital arranging, sequencing, sampling, and later, hard disk recording. With more than 500 live performances and 30 years of studio experience, Christian brings a wealth of experience in many musical styles and production. Keyboard player for, among others: 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 Pobisch, and many more.

Martin Nemec was born in St. Pölten in 1966 and, after his first attempts at playing the church organ, discovered his percussive side. His father's drumming genes took hold, and at the age of 14, he began experimenting with empty detergent drums and differently tuned wine bottles. A year later, he founded his first band, "Uhrwerk," with H. Schmied and B. Paweronschits. This was followed by rapid training under Rudi Steger and Peter Huber, two masters in their field. Since 1985, Mats has been drumming live and in the studio with, among others, Uhrwerk, Men's Club, Christian Frei, Prime Target, Carambolage, Backbeat (Best Dance Band Lower Austria 2004), Bauer Train, B&B Project, Shaggy Rats, Margo, and Fresh Freddie.

Horns & Horns arrangement
Music captivated me from a very early age. I love the variety and versatility in music. This is reflected in many stages of my career so far: from tours with the Musikantenstadl to international jazz festivals, arrangements for traditional brass bands and jazz big bands, to studio recordings for Marc Pircher, Limahl, and even for the latest James Bond film. In addition to a wide variety of bands for every occasion, with yourband I also offer arrangements and recordings for wind instruments in my own "Onlinesession" recording studio.
