A sensual fusion of Ambient and Downtempo
Christoph Sebastian Pabst
Christoph Sebastian Pabst is a German musician from Prien am Chiemsee, Bavaria. Born in 1977 near Bremen, he discovered his enthusiasm for electronic music in the early 1990s. With an Amiga 500 and an 8bit sampler, and later his first real synthesizer, he began to experiment and opened up the theory and practice of music as an autodidact. Along the way he taught himself to play the piano and began to improvise.
By the end of the 90s he already had his own recording studio with high quality digital and analog equipment. He had small releases in the field of house/ discohouse on vinyl in cooperation with DJ Sugar Caine from Bremen, Germany and the musician Raffaele Avagliano. A few live acts in Bremen’s scene followed.
