Dark Distant Spaces

about

Founded in Augsburg (autumn 1984) by Ronald Noel, Veit Wiehler and Harald Schoger, DDS turned out to change everything in the life of the three. These pupils got together at the weekends to use their very basic equipment for falling in love with passion for making their own electronic music. Two cheap synths a borrowed drumcomputer and two cheap guitars as well. By the way one of the guitars turned out to sound better if used as a percussion instrument... A friend of DDS took an early session tape (in this time recording was done by dubbing from one stereo tape deck to another one...) to THE PLACE in Augsburg an independent club called RUDI'S SLIP and from that day on the DJ and owner of this club played the DDS song, The Style, day by day. Driven by this absolutely new experience that someone else likes their music too DDS finished their first tape at the end of 1984 called,”First Wave, (manufactured by themselves that got sold for DM 3,- to some of their friends (there are only 33 original tapes worldwide!!!). At the beginning of 1985 DDS had their first live gig at Neon in Augsburg. As time passed by two more tapes appeared (Help Edition Ltd. and Move Your Body) and the equipment got better and better. In 1987 Marc H. Buchner added his brilliant voice to the band and became the front man of the band. Electric Current” was the first tape where Marc´s voice could be heard. The next tape was also the last in DDS´s history: Undressed(more than 200 sold in the local area)
