Software (band)

Software was a German electronic duo active between 1984 and 2000, comprising Peter Mergener (born 1951) and Michael Weisser (born 1948). Formerly the duo used the name Mergener&Weisser.

History

The group released their records under the IC (Innovative Communication) label, which also released a number of other electronic musicians, including Klaus Schulze and the Neue Deutsche Welle group Ideal.

From 1990 to 1992 Weisser produced, during a temporary break with Mergener, four albums under the Software name with a different group composition: Fragrance with Klaus Schulze and Georg Stettner (born 1970), and Modesty-Blaze I / II and Cave with Billy Byte (Stephan Töteberg).[1]

After the dissolution of Software in 1999, the two musicians went their separate ways: Peter Mergener continues to compose and play electronic music, while Michael Weisser first founded the group G.E.N.E. (Grooving Electronic Natural Environments),[2] and is currently, among other things, active as a media artist.

gollark: Oh, it went back up again.
gollark: Excitingly, TPS is now about 5.
gollark: Anyway, I guess it seems non-impossible given that the reference DFPWM thing doesn't really attempt to model human perception of audio whatsoever.
gollark: I see.
gollark: I guess the bottom one sounds less noisy, but I wasn't blind-testing so who knows.
