Thomas Grinder
Thomas Grinder (aka TZX Grinder) is a solo music project from Poland. First steps in creating any kind of music were taken in 1994 and were closely related to computer demoscene. The discovery and fascination with alternative genres of techno music has rightly directed his later productions, which became increasingly better. Finally, at the end of 1997, Thomas played his first modest live act. The performance took place in Gong club in Bydgoszcz (PL) and was warmly accepted, despite some deficiencies. Further live acts played until 2000, and were characterized by an uncompromising and orthodox approach to the topic. Strong bassdrum, deep & heavy bass and drilling industrial sounds became distinct attributes of his compositions. After 2000 the prosperity at the local club scene and commercialization of music resulted in the loss of place for alternative techno. However, it did not stop the activity in making music and the new material was created at home studio. It was sent and issued at various music competitions. Over time, the musical fascinations have been extended to more abstract and experimental forms of electronic music, including dark ambient. A particular source of inspiration is also a new school & wonky techno including climates from Edinburgh, Brighton…
Current productions are musical hybrid of these music genres and are the result of expanding knowledge about the virtual analog synthesis. In 2008 he played last live set in local club. Thomas Grinder concentrates on the production of new stuff now. A few experimental tracks were released at Dark Crank Records and Panel Trax Records in 2009. This stuff opened a new chapter in his musical endeavours…
