Ronny Moorings

Ronald Moerings known professionally as Ronny Moorings (born 20 May 1961), is a Dutch musician best known for his work with darkwave band Clan of Xymox.

While a sociology student in Nijmegen, Netherlands in 1981, Moorings met fellow musician and graphic designer Anka Wolbert who shared a similar taste in new wave music.

[2] In 1983 they recorded a five track EP entitled Subsequent Pleasures and gave a copy to Brendan Perry after a chance encounter in an Amsterdam restaurant.

[4] Also while in Amsterdam, Moorings and Wolbert met fellow musician Pieter Nooten, who contributed several tracks of his own, making Xymox a trio.

Their Polygram debut Twist of Shadows would prove to be the most commercially successful of their career, with "Imagination" charting on the Billboard Hot 100 and the band achieving regular MTV rotation.

[5] As Xymox bandmates engaged in side projects, Moorings assumed greater control, claiming Twist of Shadows was "made entirely independently, without the rest of the musicians, who were then on vacation.

In 1994 he moved back to Amsterdam and resumed touring in the Netherlands with girlfriend Mojca Zugna and old band mates Frank Weyzig and William Van Antwerpen.

In 2006 a studio album Breaking Point and a DVD named Visible - edited, filmed and produced by Moorings and Mojca Zugna - was released.

Cryptic Rock says :  Spider on the Wall proves that the enduring Clan of Xymox has never lost its edge, dark beauty, and gloomy glamor.
