A: We're cousins, so that pretty much means we've known each other our whole life.

A: A few years back, I think it was early '97 or something like that, we began to hang out as friends. We found out that we had music as a common interest. Andreas (WennE) was a whole lot better then me though, but we found ourselves being pretty good at producing together as a team.

A: Simply to make a difference. At first we decided to design our logo to be used & viewed on any computer in regular textform. The result became trance[]control, typed in Arial Bold. It was also a way to fetch the eye of a page viewer, since it was different and somewhat new when we first used it.

A: Not in a million years! The effect of that single 3-minute track took us totally by surprise!

A: One thing that pissed us off the most was that we were able to produce more worthwhile sounds with the AWE 32 than we managed to do with our first synth, the Yamaha CS1x. But, then again, I believe it's all about knowing how to use your gear.

A: Uhmm...I'd say we got a pretty massive response from those guys. Even though we're barely known in Canada it all worked out really great. It took us some time to get "warmed up" on stage but once that came together it was a walk in the park. We also felt that our more nasty & hard tracks where more suitable for our Canadian friends.

A: Like many other electronic music artists we had to reproduce most of the set as playback, but with some extra elements such as synthlines, arpeggiated riffs and FX sounds added on top of the playback mix.

A: Yes, it's a full-time job for the both of us. However, now we're forced to apply for regular day jobs in order to get by, as MP3.com made some pretty wild changes in the "Payback 4 Playback" system. Selling CD's & Vinyls through normal record labels just isn't enough to provide a living for now. The future looks bright on that behalf though.

A: We mostly create the tracks on our own and that includes all the steps of completing a track - arrangement, mixing, recording & final mastering.

A: It's a piece that WennE made. It was meant to be an intro for one of our sets, but I guess the man got a bit carried away and the intro leapt into a full track by pure flow.

A: They belonged to the sound & lighting crew, but they didn't actually blow up. The poweramps weren't able to provide enough power for the bass so they clipped and voila - we were all out of bass for about 20 seconds.

A: Most of our songs come out that way, though we don't really think of our tracks as "great songs".

A: Nope, I've gotten used to it and I really don't care about it. It was kinda crazy when my ex g/f came to stay with me for a weekend though. To get used to or forget about public eyes aren't very good in some cases.

A: I think we're swirling on the outskirts of several genres with our tracks. Some tracks may be more suited for "dance", others for "trance" and others for "techno", but it's kinda hard to judge as the genre classification doesn't mean the same in Northern Europe as it does in the USA.

A: Oh gee, I've got no clue on that one, however "Distorted Minds" did take quite some time to sort out, but to be honest I'd say it's one of our newer tracks called "Out There" that will appear on our next album.

A: I, Alex [DjC], create all the artwork for our CD's, as well for our website, logo and everything else ;) Yeah - I'm the handy man!

A: Yes, many times, but it takes a bag load of knowledge to get proper vocals laid into a track. It'd probably take at least 4 more years in order to do a track with vocals at the same level of our instrumental ones.

A: That's very different since we can't just sit down and make music as being ordered to. With the inspiration held high we probably do 5 sessions a week each of about 15 minutes to 15 hours at a time. There's simply no way to tell.

A: Well, the CEO of Propellerheads, Ernst, came to me asking us if we wanted to participate in making a demo track for them...as I heard his son was a great fan of ours. I believe he's got something to do with all this! ;)

A: We actually live together in the same house, and yes, it can be a bit frustrating once in a while, but then again, it's not that hard to take off and do something else for a day.
