DeathPosture Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Made on 10-16-00 with Arne Schaffhausen & Wayan Raabe by Children 1) How and when did you start to make minimal trance ? Did you make music before ? We've started to produce music in december ´98 with a few equipment. since we started we just made what we like: techno, trance, elektrostuff. it's better to keep the progress also by changing styles, there is so many different music to do and we just started to do some of what we would like to do. in this progress we recognized that we developed also our own personal style what should never end. and by the way minimalism is relativ... 2) Do you project to release a new Spirallianz (or Midi Miliz) album ? When would it (they) be released ? Yes, the "Midi Miliz"-album is finished. it's called "antistat" and is expected to be released in the end of the year on d.drum records (novatekk). the next "spirallianz"-album on spiritzone is scheduled for mid of the next year. the next releases at all are Midi Miliz flip-rmx 12" on mdma records, f.m.s. update 12" + spirallianz rmx on plusquam records, spirallianz motorman 12" on spiritzone... 3) Do you work differently when producing as Spirallianz or Midi Miliz ? There's no big difference between "Midi Miliz" and "spirallianz", maybe the "Midi Miliz"-tracks are more rough, and spirallianz is a bit more trance. but it is co-incedence what is what. 4) Which of your own tracks do you like the best ? Blast food, starkstrom, motorman(unrel.), druckabfall(unrel. the delta)... but mostly it is like the newest are the best... 5) Your favourite minimal & psytrance Groups & Albums ? Leftfield, plastikman, adam beyer, sven vath, ellen alien, anthony rother....... juno reactor(1st album), x_dream, f.m.s., 3.turn/authentik 6) Where does your inspiration come from when building a Track ? h*sh or gr*ss. 7) Tell us your recipe to make a good minimal Track ? There no golden recipe or something, we don't start always with the bassdrum or with the sample, it's not fixed. to keep it minimal it is important to have good mixdown, a few sounds has to sound big. well timed changes and effects in the monotone flow... sometimes it is not so easy to keep it interesting without overloading the track. 8) What kind of equipment do you use to make your Tracks ? Recording: G3/233 Mac with MotU 1224, Audiowerk8, Unitor8, Logic Audio and sounddiver. Outboard: 2 * dbx 1066, Aphex Compellor, Behringer Ultrafex FX: ensonic DP4, Lexicon PCM 81, Synthesizer - Sampler: Waldorf microwave XT, Korg MS 20, Akai S2000 9) How long does it take you to make a Track ? It depends on the mood. sometimes we need 3 weeks and sometimes we do the main structure in one night, often these are are the best. a track is finished when you think it is. 10) Future projects ? At the moment we are producing the new "the delta" album with marcus c. maichel and we also have to do a s.u.n. project r.m.x. for spiritzone, a paps r.m.x for z.m.a. and some live acts. 11) Is there another artist you'd like to work with ? There are many but much more intersting are big studios! 12) Do you play DJ sets ? If so, what kind of stuff do you play as DJ in parties ? We both started with djaying both in 94. arne runs the dj-team "spiralkinda" with marco schmedding. wayan stopped in 98. he get bored of it and marco and me still play but not so much like before. the stuff we play is always different, sometimes we also play electro or breakbeat sets it depends on the party. many of the artists are mentioned above. 13) When & where was your best party ? And your worst one ? Also a very hard question! one of arne's best parties were v00v98, and wayan's shiva moon 96.the two biggest trance-events in germany. very good parties are also in switzerland, japan, scandinavia and many others... best live hemp-parade hamburg 00. the worst are so many and too chaotic we can not remember. 14) Thanks a lot & good luck for your next releases ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
