Olivers Homepage

For 5 years, from 1998 to 2003, I worked as a music teacher from Hamburg/Germany at the "Colegio Andino" - Deutsche Schule Bogota/Colombia. I am interested in South America, Sailing, Traveling and MUSIC (especially Jazz and Latin Music) and computer music, all educational aspects of music, arrangements, midi files, MP3 a.s.o. I live in Hamburg now again.
