About BatteryDead

BatteryDead is an electronic music project by Christian Ahlers from germany founded in the year 2004, although he started composing music since 1987 for the Amiga demoscene. His music is a melodic mixture of soundscapes, sequences and rhythm for chilling out. The goal of BatteryDead is to inspire, entertain, and at some moments touch the listeners soul. BatteryDead has his own style, so it is hard to compare him to other musicians.
