what sortve things have you been tinkering with lately?
so i have been not very active in muzic 4 some time // on micromusic i mainly uploaded old unreleazed trax
why the hiatus in composing?
hiatus? wuzzat? ;) smth like delay? // well, dont know. got into internet programming // suxesful album on rephlex was quite something to get over
yeah a delay :' ] what kind of programming do you do? are you going to release anything else on rephlex?
i'm programming arty server thinx like a-blast.org or catercapillar (url 2 long 4 chat). i hope Bodenständig 2000 will release further on rephlex. itz our favorite label with good people
checking out a-blast: interactive text database. that is really cool
Bodenständig've awlready made sum nu toonz, but not enuff 4 an album as good as first wun. the next url iz completely new, without own domainname @ moment:
http://student.merz-akademie.de/catercapillar/
why did you decide to get on micromusic.net? how did you find it?
hans_EXTREM of www.eTXTreme.ru pointed it out 2 me // eTXTreme.ru & a-blast.org will work 2gether in future
lektrogirl said: "in fact ask him what other rephlex artists he admires and even if he doesn;t say me put his answer was me."
so...what other rephlex artists do you admire? : ]
my fav rephlex artist is of courze bryan adamZ!
wot, bryan adamz is not on rephlex? must've made a mistake
yeah!!! hehehee. thats too funny. hes pretty solid eh?
i like how bryan playz the guitar and he loox so sweet
hahaha . are you going to be collaborating with him soon? (bryan of course)
yea, after bryan got in2 dancefloor with chicane, he's going into speed metal with Bodenständig
hehe emma is sending this crazy shit: "you must have the biggest head - two rephlex artists in chat with you!!!! you must be cumming all over your keyboard!!!!!!" lol and she says "dragan is the biggest geek. he is so cool. secretly he is one of my heros." well I guess its not so secret anymore... 8] what do you think of this? surprised?
hey, U are not very tidy with secretz! -- being a hero of lektro is of courze an honor and i am surprised
hehehe well she was a tad bit pissy with me today so I figured Id spill a little bit. I get a kick out of hearing her reactions shes so funny tell me about the collection of songs in german about computers and the internet (pleases)
my collection with german computer toonz contains blümchen, bios, das modul, ibo, kraftwerk and computerforce -- the collection is not that large. emma told me bout lovebug song
are you into the early experimental animators of germany at all? Oskar Fischinger?
sorry i'm not familiar with oskar fischinger. all german computer toonz are very silly, except kraftwerk and Bodenständig 2000
some time ago we were asked if we had connection 2 industrial sculpturing zcene in berlin in the 80's ... ;)
hahahaha what did you say?
we answered that we were just some kidz fiddling with computers. we've been in berlin 2 timez by now but we are not from big city // berlin is so international // we live in slow townz with electricity & internet
yo, my machine crashed; storm outside, litening stroke; no electricity 4 2 secondz;; i live on countryside
oh sorry to hear it hope everything is still intact :} where are you located?
hey, if 2 rephlex pepol chat with you, you become the most k3wL kid in yer home town! :)))) all worx fine again ... i live in Nordheim, somehow close 2 stuttgart. south. Anne Laplantine made a tribute album 4 this town
hehehe yeah too bad no one here in eugene, oregon knows what a rephlex is 8[ Im hoping to change that soon (getting gigs together ;)
yeah! spread the message of rephlex :)
how old are you guys and how long has the band been around? how did it all start for you?
i am 24, bernhard is 34 years // we got 2 know each other round 1994 when bern published the music soft Deluxe Mjuzakk Zerbastel Kit. we alwayz thought that computers r real musical instrumentz, but until we met 1994 we never found a partner 2 collaborate
so you started getting serious at age 18? thats cool Im 19 8] ready to roll
the oldes tunez on maxi german rave blast hits 3 are 10 yearZ old. the first sketch for inRock16Bit i made when i was 16 yearZ old ... you can download this version @ www.Bodenstandig.de/2000/ . u r just 19? boyyyyy, i wish i was that young again ... :) i was inspired by amiga and atari demo coderZ 2 produce muzik. 1985 i saw Music Nonstop by kraftwerk on tv and knew this was the future :)
hehehe why is it that people want to be younger when theyre older and vice versa? Its a lot harder to be respected at this age than later, though the internet is quite a nice deal because I could say Im 38 and no one would know the difference, just think
no, was a joke, in fact i want 2 be older :) i just wanted 2 fit into clichee coz clichees rock. beatz 4 xample r a clichee! :)
well Im proud to be one of the rocking kids. just call me Mr. Clichee. yeah. now I am down.
why r u down? i wuz just goofing around
Im sorry thats wanker slang for being in the cool crowd, being in, being down with the sound 8]] Im very happy actually because I had a nice shit what about you?
ayeah, so donw=up. you young pepol confuze me. ;) i did not shit today.
what musicians deserve shout outs right now in musicville (im a nerd :) ? did anyone in particular inspire you to begin?
is musicville that town with lots of country music? i dont understand
hehehe yeah I think thats a country place. what do you think of country? I want to assimilate it I think but Im scared it will warp my reality or something evil
country in us must be what volksmusik is in germany. and i think these folk muzik styles have lotz of power.
about the country aka volksmusik: yeah I can see that power it has over some listeners, definately a vital area to incorporate into the overall scheme of things.
Bodenständig tries to put folk musik 2 a new level
yeah thats what I was thinking! I want to hear it and realize the beauty of folk music I just couldnt grasp before 8] hehehe
folk/country not just power o4 listeners but also power 4 expressing // like techno became some sort of volksmusik here. there is even country music in german language, this is weird ... v r alone in here now
yep but goat is still kickin it! :] Im sure this place will get huge really soon... I know a lot of people who are going to cream their pants when they see this
goat'z new toon is weird
yeah I downloaded autobox_beatbot! its cool, Transformers n all. gotta love em!
wot doez "cream their pants" mean? getting angry?
jizzing in their undies/ shooting sperm everywhere/ orgasm /etc... I dont think anyone could be angry at this site its way too DOWN =] hehehe
ah yeah, i get proper education 2nite!
well you seem to have the number abbreviations down quite well eh? :]] yeah expression is key: so lets get back to your music kew? listening to the trax on this lovely site: Oktopus is quite entertaining. have you ever submnitted music to game developers?
music 2 game developerz? no! back then when chipstyle and tracker sound was common, i thought my strengthz were grafx. i had 2 much respect for the music programmerz
do you have any music that you have on your playlist all the time? what sounds do you appreciate?
always on my playlist will be gametoonz, late 80's acid house, alexandra & kraftwerk & so on ... i dont really like this drum&bass stuff, but jungle and drill i admire! ;) hey sophtie, i gotta sleep some time zoon now. it's 1_30 am & i gotta work 2morrow
aiight well thanks a lot for the fun interview, talk to you soon!
we will meet again here i'm sure ......... HISCORE
hehe Hiscore yo! last question: what one thing do electro nooze readers need to know??
wot electro nooze readers should know? my small experience in life taught me: you need 2 know how to orientate in space. learn to read maps. learn 2 read bus scedulez and you must know how digital thinx work or pepol will fool U all day long.
and emma wants to know your favorite color 8]
ah, my favorite color is green;; #00FF00 especially, but also some other shades
thanks bro!
