about

XYNN is the artist name of the German musician, actor and multimedia artist Michael S. Winter (born 1949). During his school days he got involved with the alternative youth movement and was the publisher of the youth magazine "Contrapunkt". After graduation he studied at the "Akademie der Bildenden Künste" in Munich, with a focus on photography and methodical colour arrangement. At the same time he turns towards music. He composed several folk and rock songs with socio-critical contents. As from 1973 he performed with the artist name "Pele" at various clubs. From 1975 until 1977 he was the singer and guitarist of the Munich rock band "Monopteros". During that time the idea of an one-man-show arose which unifies all sensual perceptions into a holistic artwork. He designed a show with music and lights, words and background movies, pantomime and theatre fragments with costumes and masks, which melted into an overall view. Then from 1979 he toured with that show in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Netherlands. Marianne Sägebrecht hired XYNN for her legendary "Opera Curiosa". Concurrently thereto, he produced video clips, in which the contents of the songs were picturized. In 1980 it came to a record contract with Phonogram. The first LP "Dreams About Reality" appeared on the Vertigo label. The arrangement undertook Kristian Schultze (Klaus Doldingers Passport). The concept album in the style of New Wave and Progressive Rock was presented by Thomas Gottschalk on the radio sh
