The person
Pierre (Bob) Stephan
Electronic musician and operator of Electri_C_ity Studios in Bad Liebenstein (Schweina), Thuringia. Under exactly this spelling of his name, the German National Library holds 367 releases from 2020–2026.
The musical work
All recordsThe work is independently published: all 367 catalogue records name Electri_C_ity – Studios as publisher and Bad Liebenstein (Schweina) as place of publication. They are recorded throughout as online resources with the content type “performed music” and carry DDC class 780 (music).
Every record carries a URN in the national library’s namespace and an ISRC; with one exception a UPC is held as well. The work is therefore not merely present on platforms but permanently addressable in bibliographic terms. Identifier matrix

Radio and broadcasting
RadioElectri_C_ity Studios runs a continuous radio operation. The broadcasting platform is publicly listed (Electri C Ity Studios). A separate entertainment domain carries the stream, the player and the track history.
Software and automation
TechnologyAlongside the music there are publicly readable software projects, services and automations. Where code is open, the site links straight to the repository; for a service, it links to the reachable endpoint. What is described is what is actually there rather than what is planned.

Where he is on record — and where not
Public registers are the reason anyone can state something about a person and back it up. Seven of them were most recently queried individually on 11 September 2026. The result remains strikingly lopsided: the work is on record, the person is not. A national library holds 367 of his recordings. The tax administration issues a VAT number that resolves at the European Commission’s own service. Broadcast reporting runs under a label code. But not one authority file — not the German GND, not ISNI, Wikidata or MusicBrainz — has a record for the artist.

The two name forms
alternateName. There will only be a preferred GND name once a person authority record exists.One thing is expressly not settled by that: which third-party accounts belong to this person. Each profile is a claim of its own, and each is tested on its own. Only accounts passing one of two tests are emitted as sameAs — the same recording identifier as the catalogue, or a link back to the operator’s own legal notice. On 11 August 2026 that was 4 accounts: Deezer (247 ISRCs shared with the catalogue, 232 of them with identical dates), Apple Music (all 200 retrievable releases name the same publisher in the ℗ line as the library), YouTube (links to the legal notice) and SoundCloud. The professional networks findable under the same name are left out — two different LinkedIn profiles carry this spelling, which shows directly that a matching name also locates other people. Spotify is left out too: the titles match, but without an access key the platform releases no recording identifier, and matching titles prove nothing.
How the two forms are distributed can be counted. The catalogue uses one throughout; the internally held releases use both:
- Catalogue · name form used
- Pierre (Bob) Stephan — 367 mentions
- Internal · divergent form
- Pierre Stephan — 12 releases
- Internal · matches catalogue form
- Pierre (Bob) Stephan — 10 releases
The decision is documented internally as an identity assertion with its evidence, including what it does not cover. Traceable under Provenance and in the knowledge graph.
