German musician Frank Dorittke, aka F.D. Project, is originally a guitarist from the Dinslaken-based band Imagine. He got interested in electronic music around 1991, and became influenced by the music of Tangerine Dream. The versatile and accessible music of F.D. Project is not that simply to depict as it’s influences range from Tangerine Dream to Mike Oldfield, at other occasions keenly blending elements from the Berlin School and guitar riffs.

Although their soundscapes are sometimes just as entrancing as the likes of Schulze, they retain a high degree of melodic content, composing with passion, melody and harmony. They create not just a wave of sound but their tunes have a clearly defined substance to them…
