Biography
Peter Mergener (* 28 Nov, 1951 in Birkenfeld, Middle) is electronic music artist. Long time he worked with Michael Weisser, together with a total of 14 albums he released, initially under the name Mergener & Weisser, then under the name of Software.
Peter Mergener is one of the artists you might like to refer to if you want to prove that the music business is unfair. His first formation Software was musically equally groundbreaking as German compatriots Tangerine Dream and their 80s output possibly better than that of direct inspiration Klaus Schulze. Still, even though they did manage to become an underground sensation, their music never made it to those big concert halls and only occasionally to the radio. After the breakup of his band, Mergener continued as an acclaimed solo artist, who again won the hearts of a dedicated group of music lovers with a prolific body of works. His most recent works capture him at a new height and might even signal a breakthrough after all. It would be well deserved, for if you haven't heard of Peter Mergener, you haven't heard of electronic music!
