Hello everyone. This is Lauren from Projekt 2501, Frank's fiancee. For those that don't know, Frank passed away on May 19th, 2007 after battling brain cancer for a year and a half. I will continue to accept comments regarding Frank, our music and/or Projekt 2501 only (in other words, not the ones that say "come see my band play at the troc tonight"), and will continue to accept friend requests, to keep this page running. I would like to thank all of our friends, fans and family for your support for Projekt 2501, and for your unconditional support for myself. In the future I hope to release the CD that we never got the chance to release. That time will come when it comes. Frank loved his music and he loved his friends and his fans more than anything. Let's not let that love diminish because of his passing.



Thank you so much.



Sincerely,

Lauren/Projekt2501

Projekt 2501 is from Philadelphia, PA. Lauren, Frank and Wolf create music that invokes the inner self. In a world of nothing left to believe in, P2501 shows an escape through hard beats and open opinion. Everything you see is not as it seems, and you know it.



Biography:

Frank was born in 1976 in Philadelphia, PA. Music was his passion for all his life. Then right out of high school he started his own DJ company and traveled much of the time. He returned to Philadelphia and was involved heavily in the gothic and industrial scene. Being associated with many club nights and various shows, he was constantly involved in the genre. A insightful DJ (DJ Corrupted Bios) and true supporter of the underground scene, he decided it was time to take the next step. Along with Wolf they combined their efforts and minds to create what you know as Projekt 2501.



Frank has performed live on the 2005 tour as the keyboardist for VNV NATION & COMBICHRIST.



Wolf was born in 1977 in the communist part of

Germany. He spent most of his life in East Germany going to

various schools, also 10 years music school where he

played various instruments. After Germany was reunited he had the chance to go to other countries. He did so in 2001 where he paid the US a visit. Now

living in the Philadelphia area since 2002 and he decided to stay. Soon starting to go to clubs where his favorite industrial music got played he met Frank. Understanding each other very quickly and soon becoming best friends, both shared the love for the same kind of music and wanted to create their own sound. As a result, "Projekt2501" was born.



Lauren was born and raised in the small town of Riverside located in Southern New Jersey in 1983. Both of her parents are elementary music teachers in

New Jersey and have had a huge impact on her musical background throughout her life. She was also taught, mostly by her mother, to play the piano. Since then she has been playing on her own. In high school, Lauren was introduced to industrial/ebm music, which she had never heard before. Lauren fell in love immediately with this genre of music and the scene itself.

In April of 2004 she formally met Frank and Wolf, whom she had seen many times at the local industrial/ebm club night in Philadelphia. Lauren and Frank then began dating and after they realized each others musical talents,

Lauren joined Frank and Wolf as the third member of Projekt 2501. Knowing that she could always make music regardless of her college major, she decided to enroll in classes at Temple University, which she currently attends, and is

now majoring in Criminal Justice.



The meaning of the name "Projekt2501":

The name is originally from a very famous Japanese anime

film, "Ghost in the Shell". In the film, Project 2501 is a code name for an industrial espionage program, which is highly advanced and as everything is connected in the world wide web, (like neurons are connected in the brain) the program becomes self aware. As said in the movie:".created in the sea of information", our music-group "Projekt2501" is the result of what we see and hear, what we experience and think about the things, actions and people in daily life.and life itself.and how we deal with it.



Uebersetzt fuer unsere deutschen Freunde



Projekt2501 kommt aus Philadelphia. Das Duo um Frank und Wolf kreiert Musik die sich an die inneren Werte des Menschen richtet. In einer Welt, in der es nichts gibt an das es sich zu glauben lohnt, zeigt Projekt2501 eine Flucht durch harte beats und eine offene Weltanschauung auf. Alles was du siehst ist nicht wie es scheint, und du weisst es.



Biographie:



Wolf wurde 1977 im kommunistischen Teil

Deutschlands geboren. Er verbrachte die meiste Zeit seines Lebens in Ostdeutschland, wo er verschiedene Schulen besuchte, darunter auch 10 Jahre lang eine staatliche Musikschule (eingeschlossen darin anschliessender

Privatunterricht) an der er lernte verschiedene Instrumente zu spielen.

Nach der Wiedervereinigung beider deutscher Staaten bekam er die

Chance andere Laender zu besuchen, was er auch im Jahre 2001, mit

einem Besuch der USA tat. Nun lebt er seit 2002 in der Gegend um

Philadelphia und beschloss auch hierzubleiben. Bald in den ersten Monaten hier, begann er seine Abende in den verschiedenen Industrial-Klubs zu verbringen in denen er auch Frank traf. Sie verstanden sich beide sehr schnell, wurden beste Freunde und teilten die Liebe fuer die selbe Musikrichtung. Bald entstand in ihnen der Wunsch ihre eigene Musik zu kreieren. Als Ergebnis wurde "Projekt2501" geboren.



Frank wurde 1976 in Philadelphia, PA, geboren.

Musik war sein ganzes Leben lang seine Leidenschaft.

Direkt nach der High School hatte er schon seine eigene

DJ-company und er reiste viel. Als er nach Philadelphia

zurueckkehrte, war er sehr stark in die gothic/industrial szene

involviert. Mit seinem Namen waren viele Shows und Klubnaechte

verbunden und er war konstant im Genre taetig. Als verstaendiger

und einsichtiger DJ wie er war und ist und als wirklicher Understuetzer

der Untergrund-Szene, entschloss er ,dass es Zeit war,

den naechsten Schritt zu tun. Zusammen mit Wolf Loetsch

verband er seine Bemuehungen und Gedanken um das zu kreieren,

was man als Projekt2501 kennt.



Zur Bedeutung des Namens "Projekt2501".

Der Name stammt urspruenglich aus einem ziemlich

beruehmtem Anime Film. "Ghost in the Shell".

Project 2501 dort ist ein Industriespionageprogramm, welches

so hoch entwickelt ist, dass es ein eigenes Bewusstsein ent-

wickelt, was moeglich ist, da alle Computer zu einem

weltweiten Netzwerk verbunden sind. (Wie Neuronen im Hirn).

Wie im Film gesagt:".entstanden im Meer der Information",ist

unsere Musikgruppe "Projekt2501" ebenso das Resultat

von dem was wir sehen und hoeren, was wir erfahren und denken

ueber die Dinge, Begebenheiten und Menschen im taeglichen

Leben.und ueber das Leben selber.-und wie wir damit umgehen.
