'' (2003)]]
In '', '' Mythology '', '' Atmosphere '', and '' Landscapes ''.

The composer offers instrumental music of seventies inspired keyboard symphonic/electronic progressive music. Fritsch performs an electronic music that evolves between Vangelis ´ ambient & impressionist electronic, and the synthesised Progressive rock of masters such as Rick Wakeman . Nevertheless, Fritsch has found his own style within melodic Electronic Music framework. The compositions are very melodic and emotive, with multi-layered instrumental textures/voicings and solidly coherent arrangements.

Fritsch has earned a PhD in Computer Music , and has served as a teacher of Electronic Music at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil). During 1999, Fritsch created the Electronic Music Center in the Institute of Arts at UFRGS.
