Malik Trey, born 18/05/77 in Stendal.
Joined school-band „No Name Project“ as a drummer, keyboard player, lead- and
background vocalist at the age of 14 in 1991.
Played numerous gigs in the region and beyond. The band existed until 1993.
In 1994 Malik Trey began to make electronic music. Immediately he mastered the
fundamental techniques of computer-based composition and developed an intuition for
the rythmic and harmonic alignment of electronic instruments.
Malik remained dedicated to the learning-process until electronica Label „Corrosive
Media“ discovered him in 1999 and advanced his career with an appearance on the „EVO
SONIC“ radio station.
Having made innumerable live appearances he founded the electro-acoustic band
project „[atritst]Tonmenschen“ together with Raik Hildebrandt and a host of guest musicians.
During this time he met a number of interesting people who expanded his musical
horizon considerably. While in Spain for 10 months in 2001 Malik managed to study the
country’s traditional music with its many fascinating scales and rythms.
This musical sabbatical has contributed greatly to his compositions, which have gained
a sense of maturity.
„Tonmenschen“ came to an end in 2003 but managed to achieve great popularity and
secure a song on a compilation CD.
At 27 years of age, Malik joined the (Computer) DemoScene where he is responsible for
the „musical landscaping“ of group-projects such as the ATLANTIS group and the
NUANCE group.
To this day Malik has come first in a number of young composers’ contests and in 2004
-under the pseudonym of „Enthur`ny Low Fi“ - started a Solo project characterised by
its minimalism.
Around the same time Malik also established a band project together with musician
Manfred Fischer (Gendrift). Both Malik and Manfred are constantly working on new
electronic sounds and playing live sets within and beyond the boundaries of DRUM N BASS, ELECTRO, BIG BEAT, TECHNO, ELECTRONICA, AMBIENT, DOWNBEAT, CHILL-OUT,
EXPERIMENTAL etc.
Malik continues to follow the path of composing and is currently working on the
soundtracks for two films.
