Occupied Head
Dieter Mauson was born in Leer, a small town in the north-west of Germany. In 1982 he started as a bass player in several punk and no-wave bands in his hometown and was then bass- and guitar-player and singer in the post-punk duos NOSTALGIE ÉTERNELLE and OPFER DER HINGABE. He also founded the electronic duo DELTA-SLEEP-INDUCING PEPTIDE with another friend in 1989. In 1992 he started his first ambient solo-project called MAJESTIC TWELVE. In 1995 – having two children – life changed and he
stopped making music for nearly 15 years.
In 2009 NOSTALGIE ÉTERNELLE came back to life and a few years later OPFER DER HINGABE and DELTA-SLEEP-INDUCING PEPTIDE were also reactivated. Dieter started his new solo project called OCCUPIED HEAD in 2011. In 2016 he met the Chilean musician Cristóbal Rawlins and they began their electronic duo 7697 MILES. A year later Dieter traveled to Chile and in 2018 to Peru to record music and play concerts there. The
same year he and two of his friends started the techno/post-punk/country/electro trio SAUERSTOFFF. So far, OCCUPIED HEAD has played concerts in Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Chile, Peru, Lithuania, France and Spain. After some online releases, STEADY, released on WETDREAMS Records in Spain in December 2019, is his
first physical release.
