Yves: Bands like Pragma Khan, Delerium, Moby, Röyksopp made my heart beat faster. Tell me about the development of your musical style? It may have started in 2003, but the real start was in 2008 thus. Exciting times back in 2009 they were – because I really pushed hard to put a stamp on the “EBM” or “electro-industrial” scene with my own views on it, which wasn’t easy at times, but due to playing on Briefest and winning several contests (on Studio Brussels) and getting good comments on UK’s BBC Radio – I think Alfa Matrix was convinced we were dedicated to our “sound” and “exploration”. Yves: We got picked up by Alfa Matrix, the label which houses Front 242 and had deals with Anne Clark and more back then, for a 3-album contract.
I owe him a lot, and we’re still in touch after all those years. I learned a lot from him, concerning what a synthesizer is and what components do what. I must also mention Dirk Fuelman’s, a teacher I had in my school who’s subject was IT – and he’s an expert and well-known figure in the “electro-acoustic music” scene. And slowly but surely I started composing and songwriting, learning it by myself on the internet. I think it’s a shame, I love music and loved it since I was very young, so I pursued, when I got my first own computer I started making music on it. Yves: As a young boy age 6 or 7 I think, I was entered into music school to learn the basics – only to be kicked out of there after half a year because I was presumed tone-deaf and couldn’t sing… I actually was asked to “playback” whilst the class was singing :-).
