1. 1988
2. Ambient'ish things, i have always had a deep passion for pads and choirs.
3. Anything from filmscores to ambient and electronic music for what its worth
4. i dont know who i've gone from one genre to another, it just falls naturally throughout the years as you go through things in your real life and express it onto notes.

1. Roughly 1 year and 8 months, I'm quite new to the whole thing.
2. Trance
3. Whatever it is that I feel at the moment.
4. I started producing because I heard this music and like many others, I thought "OMG I have to do this!!!" I did, and it was fun for a bit but it got stale. Then I tried goa trance, and I loved it, but it's very exhausting because of the complexity of the music, and mine wasn't even that complex! Later on, I started playing with the idea of remixes. I liked this idea because when I heard songs, I usually had an idea of the way I wanted it to sound. So being able to produce gave me the ability to hear something, get an idea, and make that idea happen. So I've done hip-hop, happy hardcore, modern "hardcore" club music, jungle, etc. So I basically produce whatever it is I feel like producing at the time. At the moment, I'm working on acid.

1) About 5 years but the first two was minor dabbling without having any clue what i was doing.

2) Prog trance/prog-house

3) Not sure. I don't produce often enough to have developed my own style. My last track was d&b with a twist. One before that was some deep dubby house thing. Before that a slow 115bpm chilled melodic house track.

4) Partly through my listening tastes changing. I listen to very little trance these days. I also became quickly tired with the predictable structure of a trance track. The boring percussion, the rigid mechanical bass lines etc.

If I really spent more time producing, I think I could really find "my sound" and develop it. As it is though I only spend a limited amount of time every few weeks so end up doing whatever comes out at the time, finishing a track once every 3-5 months as an average.

1. How long have you been writing music?

Writing music...maybe 27 years, when I first started taking acoustic guitar lessons? In terms of the first "writing" that got recorded and put out on CD, around 12 years ago.

2. What kind of music did you start out producing?

After being in a metal band for 5 years, I started producing (melodic trance)

3. What kind of music do you produce today?

Still melodic trance.

4. If (2) and (3) are different, describe how you got from one to the other.

In terms of music production, they're the same. But as for going from metal to trance, the bassist in my band went to raves and invited us along. Both metal and trance are energetic forms of music, both of them will leave you covered in sweat after a good night!

1. 6/7 years ago I started

2. I started out trying to produce Trance as I was really into it at the time.

3. I now produce Techno & Tech House.

4. My tastes in music matured and wasnt really getting on with trance anymore as it just seemed to stale and wasnt really going anyway. Techno really excites at the moment as theres so many different forms of Techno around.

Just a natural progression. As i got older i became more chilled out i think ??? so i naturally moved to chilled but funkier stuff.
