Born and raised in the vibrant city of Berlin, Joerg Peters, better known by his alias "Fantomacs", is a renowned musician, composer and producer in the midth of his carrer. He has captivated audiences with his mesmerizing soundscapes and boundary-pushing approach to music, seamlessly blending electronic and orchestral elements across multiple genres of music. With a deep passion for sonic exploration and a knack for creating immersive musical experiences, Fantomacs has established himself as a trailblazer in the industry and as a risk-taking artist.

From an early age, he was drawn to the world of music. Growing up in a city known for its thriving music scene, he was immersed in a rich tapestry of diverse genres and styles. Influenced by the electronic music movement that emanated from Berlin, Fantomacs developed a deep appreciation for experimental sounds, driving beats, and captivating melodies.

Armed with this inspiration, Fantomacs embarked on a musical journey, honing his skills as a producer and composer. Drawing influence from electronic music pioneers like Doldinger's Passport, Mezzoforte, Four80East, Steely Dan, later St. Germain, Jens Buchert, Elderbrook, Ben Boehmer and many more, Fantomacs began crafting his own sonic identity, blending elements of ambient & chillout, electronic music, fusion jazz, funk and rock elements into his compositions.

In 2019, Fantomacs made a striking debut with his album "Fade out Lines". The album showcased his mastery of atmospheric soundscapes and hypnotic rhythms, capturing the attention of both critics and listeners alike. "Fade out Lines" became a critically acclaimed release, establishing Fantomacs as an artist to watch in the electronic music scene.

Following the success of his debut album, Fantomacs released the EP "Fly with me" in 2021. This collection of tracks further showcased his ability to create immersive and evocative sonic landscapes, captivating listeners with its ethereal melodies and intricate production.

In 2022, Fantomacs unveiled his sophomore album, "So Pure". Building upon the sonic foundation laid by his previous works, "So Pure" delved even deeper into experimental territories, incorporating elements of glitch, downtempo, and ambient music. The album displayed Fantomacs' growth as an artist, exploring new sonic textures and pushing the boundaries of his sound.

Continuing his creative momentum, Fantomacs released "De Novo" in 2022. This album marked a significant evolution in his musical style, as he delved into more introspective and introspective themes. With tracks that seamlessly blend organic and electronic elements, "De Novo" showcased Fantomacs' ability to evoke deep emotions through his music.

Most recently, in 2023, Fantomacs unveiled his highly anticipated album, "Miss YOU!". This release further solidified his position as a visionary in the electronic music landscape. "Miss YOU!" demonstrated Fantomacs' continued growth and experimentation, incorporating intricate melodies, pulsating rhythms, and a whole range of style elements from different genres to create a captivating sonic journey. Being an inspired and productive musician and producer, in the same year 2023, Fantomacs even released additional singles in collaboration with other talented musicians and his well received sixth album "Harmonious Fusion". It takes listeners on a captivating sonic journey through eight meticulously crafted tracks. True to its title, the album seamlessly blends genres, creating a musical tapestry that transcends boundaries.

In 2024, a series of singles has been released covering different genres from fusion jazz to electro and funk, some of them being cover versions of well known musical master pieces from Four80East and Groove Armada among others. Later in November 2024, the album "Infinite Reflections" was released scoping the releases of the year as well as some additional tracks that have been rolled-out in a waterfall strategy.

In 2025, Fantomacs entered a year of transformation, expanding his sound from reflective album storytelling into a wider cinematic and technological universe. After Infinite Reflections, releases such as Icy Dreams, Mary, SILO, Oxygène Pt. 4, Outer Surface, and Shakedown explored different sides of the Fantomacs identity: icy electro-trap stillness, orchestral spirituality, dystopian soundtrack energy, synth heritage, inner/outer self-reflection, and modern Electro-Jazz fusion. At the same time, 2025 became a backstage year of refinement and expansion — from physical modeling, breath-controlled expression, and Roland Fantom EX-based production to the growing presence of Fantomacs music on CD, vinyl, Bandcamp, ElasticStage, Qobuz, playlists, and collector-focused formats. The quarterly Time Lapse / Zeitraffer issues documented this evolution like a living artist diary: new releases, behind-the-scenes stories, sound design experiments, visual concepts, and the gradual shaping of Fantomacs as an independent one-man label ecosystem where music, technology, narrative, and physical formats increasingly belong together. 

In 2026, Fantomacs opens a deeply personal new chapter with Berlin Nights — an evolving album project and waterfall release that transforms Joerg Peters’ Berlin-Neukölln roots into a nocturnal world of rhythm, memory, and emotional depth. More than a conventional album title, Berlin Nights unfolds like a cinematic journey through the city after dark, where neon reflections, hidden side streets, urban movement, quiet longing, and soulful memories merge into one immersive soundscape. Beginning with Berlin Nights (Radio Version), followed by Midnight Groove, City Walk, and the expanding Full Version, each chapter reveals another facet of the same night scene — from atmospheric introduction to deeper groove, street-level reflection, and full emotional architecture. Musically, the project stands at the heart of the Fantomacs sound: E-Motional Electronic Music shaped by electronic grooves, jazztronica-inspired textures, warm instrumental colors, cinematic arrangements, and visual storytelling. After Infinite Reflections, Berlin Nights moves Fantomacs from personal reflection into a more narrative, place-based sound universe — a tribute to Berlin not as a tourist image, but as an inner landscape of origin, transformation, contrast, and creative rebirth.

Throughout his musical odyssey, Fantomacs has remained true to his Berlin roots, drawing inspiration from the city's vibrant energy and avant-garde spirit. The influence of his hometown can be heard in his compositions, as he infuses his music with a sense of nostalgia and futurism that is uniquely Berlin.

Fantomacs stands for musical vision, fearless creativity, and a relentless drive to explore new sonic realms. His body of work—from "Fade out Lines" to "Infinite Reflections" — invites listeners into immersive sonic worlds where music becomes a space, and each track tells a story.

Heidi Marlen Grau, often seen as "HMG", plays a beautifully multifaceted role in Fantomacs’ creative world. She crafts evocative lyrics and poems that seamlessly blend with Joerg Peters’s ambient-electronic landscapes. On tracks like Meditation "Heiliger Wasserfall", she not only pens the words but also guides listeners through a soothing spoken-word journey - “writes the lyrics and will also accompany you through this wonderful meditation”.

Her poetic voice shines across albums such as De Novo, where she performs on five of the nine tracks, delivering both lead and background vocals with emotional intelligence and subtlety. Standout poetry tracks—including "Something In The Air", "By The Lake", "Rising Day" and others - feature her as both lyricist and narrator, beautifully merging words with music.

Behind the scenes, HMG is the quiet editor: proof-reading newsletters and written content, creating, producing and selecting imagery, and consulting on cover art and during final steps of mastering and proof-listening. Her keen eye shapes the visual and textual coherence of each release. And beyond her creative contributions, she is simply the beloved partner - the heart and soul supporting Fantomacs both as artistic collaborator and life companion.
