Made EM on his own until 1984.
Lost his interest in EM from 1984 till 1995. Made Symphonic Rock and
Fusion during that period, in many bands as keyboardplayer and as drummer.
Bought an old analog synth in 1995 and started to focus on EM again.
Became member of Alfa Centauri in 1995. Is releasing solo-albums since
1999. Since March 2003 Gert is making EM with Ruud Heij, of who Gert
thinks he is the greatest sequencedesigner of all times.

First years of composing EM, Ruud did it on his own. During the
nineties he met René Jansen. Together they formed Patchwork. From then,
things went faster. Ruud became a member of Alfa Centauri and met people
with whom he started to make music. Most important: Free System Projekt,
which is making a pure form of Berlin School. Since March 2003 Ruud is
making EM with Gert Emmens, who has EM-influences that differ from FSP and
René Jansen.
