Amadeus began producing music around 1994 and has worked in this field ever since, on both his projects and for corporate clients.
From 1997 to 2021, he was the founder and managing director of kubus media, a digital communications agency based in Basel, Switzerland. Driven by his enthusiasm for all things new media, he taught himself to manage digital communication projects for international clients from start to finish, playing an active role in their implementation (concept, design, development, etc.) alongside his team of 8—13 specialists.
In 2023, he and his wife relocated to Koh Pha-ngan, Thailand and started a new business there. He continues his music production activities there, having relocated his entire studio.
Since he switched from being a quasi-lifelong macOS user to becoming a Linux evangelist in 2021, he has worked on making Linux a more viable platform for music production, which led to the foundation of the initiative Linux Audio Development in 2025.

All living things are fundamentally one.
"I feel connected to everyone and everything and try to approach anything with love, compassion and confidence."
Human beings as perfectly functioning, independent organisms.
"I feel that we have access to everything we need from within and are not dependent on anything external."
Non-violence and unadulterated, natural nourishment.
"To me, veganism is an effective system for creating a reality in which all life forms can experience fulfilment whereas raw, unadulterated, natural, living foods are ideal for our bodies by design."
Everything available (for free) to everyone.
"If it were up to me, everything would be Open Source; knowledge, software, blueprints, everything!"
Music production based on free and Open Source software (FOSS).
"Following the principle of Open Source, with technologies such as PipeWire and a growing number of vendors offering their software for Linux, Linux has become a serious platform for computer based electronic music production."
Innovative cross-platform digital audio workstation (DAW).
"While Bitwig Studio isn't free and Open Source software, it has truly transformed my music making ever since I made the switch in 2013. Plus it is available for Linux, next to Windows and macOS."
