Voice and heart of Silent Circle
Martin Tychsen
Born: 23.1.59 in Osterode/Harz
Full name: Martin Johannes Joseph Tychsen
Martin's distinguishing feature used to be his hair. It took him 10 minutes
of work every morning to form them with gel, spray and fen. He used to earn
his livings in "civil" life at one insurance agency. Ironic that it was his
boss who brought Martin to Silent Circle. Being a friend of producer Bernd
Dietrich he introduced to him his employee who has already had popularity
among his colleagues playing guitar and singing on parties. Martin's start
in music had happened 12 years before Silent Circle achieved wide popularity
when he was making first steps on Jazz-Rock stage with the band called
"Hochspannung" ("High Voltage") in his native town of Osterode. In the
years of New German Wave he had a band called "Crew", and by the end of 1984
joined Martin the band "Silent Circle" which has brought him worldwide
popularity.
Martin is not just an owner of uncomparable voice and extraordinary
appearance, he is also talented producer
and has written several wonderful songs together with Bernd Dietrich and
Engelbert Simons: "Like A Burning Star" and "Chinese Magic" for Jessica and,
of course, for Silent Circle ("Time For Love", "Oh, Don't Lose Your Heart
Tonight"). Later singles (for example, "What A Shame") and the whole album
"Back!" were composed and produced by Martin and Axel Breitung
as well as "Sing A Song" for his solo project "Invisible T." Finally, the
whole album "Stories 'bout Love" was produced by him in collaboration with
Ekki Stein and Annette Feldmann. Martin was also writing songs for Roy
Black and Tommy Steiner. Recently he's been working in his studio at AW Music Productions recording the new
single. Silent Circle manager Andreas Weihs promised us the next good news
in the first weeks of 1999!
