About me
Peter began to discover music in his youth. In the days of the Commodore 64, he was part of the demo groups mentioned at the time. He then found his way to the PC via an Amiga and then he met Marko via the Internet.
Marko published his songs in the Hornet Archive and Peter sent a remix of a song to Marko. This was so well received by Marko that at the end of 1998 they decided to produce music together under the pseudonym „TbO&Vega“. In the first months they worked hard together to improve the quality of the sounds and in spring 1999 the first joint song was released. Initially in FastTracker format XM, but soon they were able to release their sounds in MP3 format.

They received their first attention when they placed seventh out of several hundreds of entries in a music competition at Trax in Space. Then, at the end of 1999, their website was launched and so was their net presence. From that time on, more and more people became aware of TbO&Vega and by the end of 1999, when their tracks were only available on Trax in Space, their sounds were downloaded over 100,000 times. For this reason they were elected „Artist of the Year 1999“.

Starting in 2000, they decided to expand their Internet presence to reach even more people. They started to publish their sounds on the then big MP3 sites and became part of the artist repertoire of the then well-known sites like beatmaka.com, raw42.com or cb4.de.

The goal they set together came true at the end of 2000 and they got a record deal with Virtual Volume. Their first vinyl release Cosmic Space was released in early 2001 and landed at number 73 in the official German DJ playlist charts. In preparation for the second release Peace & Harmony, the label went bankrupt and the artists were shown the door.

The two had another success when they placed second out of over 80 entries in a remix contest for the song Trance Unity by Giorgio Ponticelli. This remix was released on the major label ZYX in February 2002.

After a hiatus of over 10 years, they came back and have been able to present more releases since 2013. Among other things, they released their own chillout album in early 2015. From 2016 to 2020, they worked closely with Sounds United Records and were able to place several releases as well as remixes there. Since 2020 they could release some releases with different labels.

And in 2025 Peter decided to release several Tracks with his own name.
