M0T0M While I'm a huge fan of electronic music, I love when these projects also introduce a narrative aspect. The unfolding history of Martin's musical journey adds such a wonderful dimension while listening to these albums. Not to mention the great visuals, too.
Favorite track: Zeit zum Laufen 156.

mike-rix Funktionale Musik komponiert von M. Zeichnete im Stil deutscher Elekronik-Musik Pioniere. Zur Optimierung der Laufgeschwindigkeit von DDR Sportlern auf einer 5 Kilometer Laufstrecke. Es funktioniert und ich konnte meine Laufzeit auf die Länge des Albums optimieren. Favorite track: Tonband Laufspur.

For the first time since it was recorded in East Berlin over 40 years ago the music of Martin Zeichnete can finally be heard.
A disciple of the Kosmische Muzik of the likes of Kraftwerk, Can and Neu! that was drifting across the Wall from the West, Martin's idea of using the motorik, hypnotic beat of krautrock in the training of athletes was taken and exploited by the DDR's Olympic Committee.
