German musician Frank Dorittke, aka F.D. Project, is originally a guitarist from the Dinslaken-based band Imagine.

He got interested in electronic music around 1991, and became influenced by the music of Tangerine Dream (“Stratosfear”) and Jean Michel Jarre.

Frank couldn’t resist stepping into the deep, and started composing his own electronic music, which would end up as his debut album “Electronic Dreams”.

To his own astonishment, F.D. Project was chosen "Best Newcomer" at Schallwende and the German Schwingungen Wahl 2003, and in the following years he won other prices on that same occasion.  In 2004 he made “Blue Vision” on which some fine electric guitar would compliment his electronic music. That same year, he did his first live concerts, and he won the third  place as “Best Electronic Musician” at Schallwende while “Blue Vision” was chosen second “Best” cd at the same occasion. In the following years, more successful cd and dvd releases would follow.

  Frank also released a free downloadable album through Pharmacom Records under the moniker “Mare Tranquillitatis“. This double album pays a very nice tribute to the old Berlin-School, offering over two hours of groovy, rhythmic and quite cinematic music. The expertly played electric guitar plays an important part here, reminding of the part of Tangerine Dreams’ "Encore" and some vintage work from Pink Floyd.

  The versatile and accessible music of F.D. Project is not that simply to depict as it’s influences range from Tangerine Dream to Mike Oldfield, at other occasions keenly blending elements from the Berlin School and guitar riffs. At times it can be melodic and up-tempo, then switching to captivating atmospheric textures and soundscapes, but in live-settings one can count on it some great guitar playing will show up.

Eigentlich bin ich von Haus aus ja Gitarrist bei der Dinslakener Band "Imagine"..
1991 entdeckte ich mein Liebe zur Elektronischen Musik. Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, JMJ waren plötzlich nicht mehr aus meinem Kopf zu kriegen. Angefangen mit einem C64 und dem Sequenzer Programm "Pro 16" von Steinberg.
Ich kaufte mir einen Yamaha DX 11 Synthie (8-stimmig, booooaaarr) und wollte dann man loslegen. Die Grenzen waren schnell erreicht *ggg*.
Schnell kamen diverse Expander von Roland und Korg dazu, und ein Drumcomputer von Yamaha.
Im Jahr 2000 kaufte ich mir dann das Behringer Eurodesk 8000 Mischpult (24/24/8/2). Seit dem November 2001 lernte ich dann Dank Sascha (deZent) und Udo (Chilltopia) "Reason" kennen.
Neben der Chillout,NewAge und Ambient Music, mach ich natürlich auch noch viel für meine Band.
Die darf natürlich nicht zu kurz kommen. Produzieren allein zu Haus im stillen Kämmerlein ist schön und gut. Aber ich brauch die Bühne. Gitarre quälen bis zum geht nicht mehr und drei Saiten reisser pro Gig *ggg*.....Music is my life.
