Vincent Wilkie invented modern music in 1978 after having constructed an electric guitar made entirely of cardboard and rubber bands in his parents garage.
Having spent a rather long time unsuccessfully attempting to convince record labels of the merit of his inventions, he finally struck gold, interestingly enough just as his interest was beginning to wane and he had started to consider a career as an adventurous archeaologist, handsomely rugged in his weatherworn fedora hat, beating a path to a lost aztec temple. But I digress.
In the period between 1996 - 2000, he released a stack of albums, singles, remixes and collaborations with various members of Germany's electronic and hip hop scene, not only as lotte ohm., but also as The Dope Fiend, as Sven Franzisko oder lotte ohm., and as a member of zany dada-electro duo Pieter Bohlen & Dieter Maffay, together with Gautsch, a/k/a Malente.
What happened then is a bit of an enigma wrapped in a crossword puzzle inside a badly designed game of Sudoku. Other things may have seemed more interesting, other grass greener, priorities shifted, yadda, yadda.
Anyway, he's back, and 2006 saw the release of "Big In Japan", a new album filled with interestingly electronic songs and sound, swiftly followed by a bunch of cool remixes in 2007.
A new E.P., titled "A Robot In Your Headlights" is up for grabs in early 2008, this time combining both originals and remixes in one release...
Why he has now decided to call himself Instant Wilkie is not only one of life's great mysteries, but also none of your business, bub.
Apart from constructing songs, he designs websites, deejays quite a bit, drinks lots of tea and reads books in his spare time.
This informational text was written by Instant Wilkie himself in the third person, which has made him (me) feel rather strange. A lot of it is nonsense, but then what did you expect?
