Rudi Biber's Lovemachine

about

Rudi Biber, born in Vienna Austria, became a plumber (not “Joe the Plumber”) in his father’s business but was always attracted to music – especially to his favorite instrument – the guitar.

At 11 years old, he formed his first band, “Teenbeats”. They began playing different community centers in Vienna because he was not allowed into the clubs due to his age. However, Rudi tried and managed to sneak into these establishments through backdoors and kitchens to listen to his idols. There was Joe Zawinul, Friedrich Gulda, and many others. After a few years, while he improved his skills, he became friends with gipsy guitarist Charlie Ratzer and his cousin, Harry Stojka.

In the 80s, Rudi founded the Black Lagoon Studios in Vienna, which quickly became popular. In the following 10 years, he learned to expand his musical career as a studio musician and recording engineer. Meanwhile he also played the bass and keyboards,
