And Florian Burdyl a.k.a Ryan Fontane was born in 1989.

He studied musicology in Leipzig with a focus on music systematics under Professor Bernd Franke. His thesis on the "attempt of a general concept of tension in music" deals with the fundamental concepts of consonance and dissonance. He studied classical and jazz/rock/pop composition at the conservatory in Dresden and is currently enrolled for his consecutive Master in Hamburg. He is working on and with his large ensemble project Kylon, as well as a music educator and programmer.

And he will die.
