In 1983 he bought his first synthesizer and exchanged first self-produced tapes with friends from. After a move to Hanover, he learned to play the clarinet and dealt increasingly with turntablism. After a move to Munich, he joined the live music group Six And More, who played with electronic devices live improvised music. Followed in 1991, another move to Berlin and the construction of the first own studio. His own tracks were rather attributable to the breakbeat. After first working for a Berlin radio in 1997 the contact with the Berlin electronic label DIN, gave up the tooth a year later his debut as Arovane revealed. After the first three EPs, with whom he achieved greater prominence in the scene that followed 2000, the album Atol Scrap, which joined seamlessly to the experimental, yet melodic style of the first publications. As early as 1999 had recorded tooth for the label City Centre Offices Album Tides, which is notable for its rather unusual spinet sounds. However Tides was in Germany until the middle of the following year and remained available to a small group of fans reserved. On this album, tooth reunited with musician Christian Kleine, with whom he had previously recorded an EP.
After the success of albums followed releases on Morr Music, Lux Nigra and Toytronic. In the meantime published tooth two EPs under the alias Nedjev and went as Arovane on tour. He joined, among others, on the Pukkelpop festival.
