CHANGING IMAGES - Crossover Prog • Germany

Changing Images biography (http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=6696)

German duo CHANGING IMAGES is made up by Martin Kornberger (keyboards) and Volker Kuhn (guitars, keyboards). The two of them hooked up while playing in a band called Soma in the late 70:s, and from 1979 and onwards they decided to form their own project. Following a string of cassette only productions throughout the 80:s they were signed to French label Musea Records for their official debut album The Castle which appeared in 1991.

While their initial effort was just as much inspired by the symphonic rock of the 70:s as by artists like Tangerine Dream and Christopher Franke, their next production honed in on the latter type of music. This item, Virtuality, appeared in 1992. Five years would go by before the next full length album was released. This time the CD was called The Art of Dreaming, and marked a return to the sound they explored on their 1991 debut. The most recent effort by Changing Images was released in 1999. This was a CD inspired by and dedicated to the S.E.T.I. project, and naturally enough named after it as well. 

What this creative duo has been up to following this isn't really known. Their homepage does contain news updates up until the fall of 2008 but nothing of a more recent date. An interview Martin gave in 2005 indicated that both Volker Kuhn and himself have a lot to cater for both in their personal and professional lives, and that the time needed to create music is hard to come by. The current state of affairs for this long lasting project is unknown.
