PJ Wassermann is a composer, sound-designer and producer of electronic music and he plays guitar, preferably of the electronic kind with his Roland VG-99 guitar synthesizer or the Axe FX Ultra guitar processor.

He has been working as a fully professional composer and musician from the late seventies until the mid nineties when he partly turned to software development.

In the last years he went back to playing live his projects Schaltkreis Wassermann and Eternal Bliss. Currently a new psyChill album is nearly finished, new Schaltkreis tracks are in the making and lots more.

Here's a track from PJ's upcoming new psyChill album, it's called "In High Spirits".

Schaltkreis Wassermann today is considered to be one of the pioneering electronic groups of the early eighties. Recently the album PSYCHOTRON has been re-released on vinyl by Berlin label Private Records.

Schaltkreis Wassermann had its live comeback in August 2008, this time as a multimedia live act, and has since played a series of Swiss and international concerts, for instance at SYNCH festival Athens in 2009 and in Ibiza, Formentera and Berlin. Not to forget Zurich, Basel and Schelten / Hingerhus.

Tragically Stella Wassermann with her beautiful voice and her far-out ideas died in 2011. Now PJ is carrying on the studio and live work of Schaltkreis Wassermann with new tracks and live appearances like in June 2012 at Sameheads, Berlin.

Another one of his live projects is Eternal Bliss. Its first psyTrance album called "Pyramids" was released 1996 and the second one, "Full-OM", in 2011. PJ performs these tracks live playing his Stratocaster through the VG-99 guitar synthesizer and an array of special effects, live visuals by Asteriza.

The commercially most successful project of Stella & PJ Wassermann has been Matterhorn Project with the top ten hit "MUH". Today it's a classic for children and lovers of tongue-in-cheek humor.

For nearly 20 years PJ has been a fulltime professional composer, musician and producer. On the one hand he worked together with Stella Wassermann on their diverse musical projects - on the other he created music for videos and films and jingles for all kinds of companies. Among many others he did jingles and station IDs for the largest Swiss radio stations DRS1 and DRS3, winning the Prix Italia for the world best jingle series in 1992.

Since
the mid nineties PJ has also developed computer software and in the last years he specialised in developing databases with FilemakerPro. One very interesting projects in this sector is fontastix.ch, the Swiss nonprofit distribution platform for independent musicians, producers and labels, supported by Swiss Performers Society SIG.

In the summer of 2007 Stella's & PJ's publishing and production company hypermusic closed a worldwide subpublishing deal with the renowned Berlin publisher
Budde Music that is to provide a new foundation for marketing their music all over the world.
