1. My mother
2. Jean Michel


For me personally, there is a lot of gratitude to JM,
as I would not be making music the way I do now, if it wasnt for his music & choice of tools.

1. Depeche Mode-songwriting Influence/Dark electronic atmospherics

2. Jarre-for his ability to paint music using sounds/And showing that music doesn't have to be lyrical to be melodic or catchy

3. Kraftwerk-Loved the Quirky robotic type attitude

4. A-ha-The First decent band of the 80s since DM that struck a chord with me,and are still going today and writing some superb music....

Most of the people who inspired me to make music aren't electronic musicians, (though I'm not a synth-head) :P but J-M is one of them, so I'll just say him :P

No one really. I did play the flute from when I was 7 untill I was 10 when I started to play the French horn untill I was 17.

Acording to my teacher I was really talanted with the horn but I started to think it was boring.

Now I own a piano but I don't have it here. I'll start playing it when I move to something bigger than 25m² :D

For me, it started when Nik Kershaw came on the scene in 84´ with "Wouldn´t it be good"!! Then I wanted to play the guitar!! But it never happened!! :D And then in 86´ when I saw the Houston concert by Jarre and a month after got the album "Rendez-vous", THEN I saw the light!!! :D :D

Today I´m the happy owner of my own music studio, and I´m damn good at creating music!! :D :D

No, but I did play some other Jarre-songs. I borrowed the Jean-Michel Jarre - Best of Piano from the library to play some of the songs in that one :D

But only a little! :twisted:

I was hitting the piano keys for the first time when I was 4. Two years later it was sold...
..........
When I started listening to Jarre's works (in 2000), soon, during the listening my fingers started hitting the table and it looked like I was a keyboard player. That was just an 'unconditional' impulse. :P
I think that Vince Clarke ('Yazoo' and 'Erasure' video clips) was one of a musicians, who made me decide to open the box with Yamaha portable keyboard and start playing/miming (that was in 1990's - I can't recall the exact date). Maybe it's strange, but I haven't played any 'Erasure' or 'Yazoo' track so far... :lol:
Thomas Anders too... (similar case).
In 2003 I've installed the first software synthesizer on my computer (thanks to Loek van Kooten and Eppo Schaap (aka Galbatron) - on their website (it's a pity it doesn't exist anymore) in 'equipment' section (as I remember) I've saw the first software synth). That was Native Instruments Pro-53 - I remember how I was shocked when I heard the sound for the first time :lol: . I decided to buy the MIDI controller to play it in an easier way. I started "collecting" software synths and later - sound modules. And they made me decide to start making music.

So, if someone asked me the question: "Who was first person...?", I'd answer: "Two guys from Netherlands: L. van Kooten and E. Schaap". If someone asked me: "What ever was first...?", I'd answer "Software synths" 8) .

Regards,
Mike
