At first I greet you, Djam! Please give us a few details about yourself. |
| Sun: |
Hoaw! Hi Andreas. Well a few details about myself: I'm a boy, I'm not a girl (logic). I'm a brown haired guy (common). I'm Half-tibetan, Half-french. And I'm 20, etc etc. Nothing more to say... |
| McDisk: |
Please give us a few detailed informations about your crew, the Dreamdealers. Date of founding, organisation, stunning releases and all such things for glory! |
| Sun: |
Back in 1988, Dreamdealers was born from 3 guys (Croquik, Kougar, Sun). At first there was nothing to do coz we were not "good" enough, but after Redlight joined us we began to feel a little better. With the upcomming of Moby and 2 Gfx (Tony, Tik), we were at least in order to make something "cute".
Stunning releases? Cute Releases! Our last demos: Tales of a Dream, Inner Vision, and our so called Dentro: Drinktro, Beachtro... But we will not stop here others Demos will show up soon... |
| McDisk: |
Please continue with your scene-life and with your job as 'Sun'! We want to know how you started (also as musician?) and on which way you got in touch with the other members of Dreamdealers! Was it pure chance? Was it with the help of a computer-magazine? Questions over questions for you. |
| Sun: |
I am not a "true musician", I'm just an "Amiga musician", like a a lot of people around. I met Kougar, Croquik, Redlight at my "school duties", this was the beginning of our crew! Luck or destiny? Who knows? Who Cares?!? (Except you, hehe!) |
| McDisk: |
Were the Dreamdealers your first team or are there other ex-groups of yours still in the scene? |
| Sun: |
Yes, Dreamdealers is my first group. Watch above! Hek Hek. |
| McDisk: |
When did you start composing music and did you learn all hints to work with the Protracker by yourself? I think that it is quite hard to create useful music so try to answer this question. Perhaps you are also able to motivate other musicians with your tips and your story... |
| Sun: |
Everything I learned from the Ptk was by myself of course, with the help of some ripped modules etc. I had to rip some modules to understand some tricks, sorry... But I'm sure everybody do the same, no?!?
Ptk effects are really powerful if there was a mix between Ptk and Sonic Arranger it should make a Great impact. Time has come no? It's been a long time since the last releases of Ptk, I believe that something more has to be added. It's a Big Work anyway... |
| McDisk: |
Are you using also other hardware to compose music like Synthesizer or things like that? Are you digitizing all samples by yourself or are you using more or less 'standard samples'? |
| Sun: |
I don't own a synthesizer but as soon I will be able to, I will get one of these musics machines. I sold my Digitizer to a friend who owns a synthesizer so as soon as I think about it I will make some digits. Hehe. For now I use ripped samples from differents modules! Not all from the same, I rip samples! I do not steal them! Huu! |
| McDisk: |
How much time are you working on one module? (Not the exact time because I know that's very different but 'all in all' please...) |
| Sun: |
Wah wah wah, from one day to one month. I work on 2 or 3 mod at the same time and I erase the 2 I don't like after a week, according to my "feelings of the moment". |
| McDisk: |
We all know that there is also another great musician in Dreamdealers called Moby. Perhaps a few dudes think that he is composing better music than you and that's also the reason why there are often Moby-tunes in Dreamdealers-demos. Do you think that he is more or less a little 'concurrent' of yours or are you a quite good friend of Moby? |
| Sun: |
Not a few dudes! A lot of dudes! But to excuse myself: he began before me, hauhau (scuze fred)! I'm quite a good friends of every Dreamdealers members, Moby is one of them! Why Moby tunes in Dreamdealers demos??? His music pleasee a lot of guys But don't cry my tune will show up... Believe it... (Hin hin) (If ya like it, Of course!) |
| McDisk: |
Perhaps a few old scene-members can rememeber that Moby was once upon a time an Alcatraz-member! Do you know his reason why he left Alcatraz a few years ago? |
| Sun: |
Alcatraz is a far group, Moby was the only french member of that team. (I think), so being far away from his team was maybe a little bit difficult for exchanging ideas, etc. But anyway Alcatraz are our friends so what, it's just an member swap (Hihihi)... Next please. |
| McDisk: |
I know that there are no divisions of Dreamdealers in other countries. Please explain your reasons for this fact. Is it caused of (perhaps) missing communications between WHQ/divisions or why? |
| Sun: |
It's mainly because we won't like to be too much guys! 15 members are quite good enough for a crew (we are 10). Being too much would mean a lack of communication between the members, we don't want that. |
| McDisk: |
How many dudes are working under the Dreamdealers-label? |
| Sun: |
10 guys: Redlight, Pict, 7Th Eye, Croquik for the Coding. Tik, Tony, Zebig for the Gfx. Kougar, Moby, Sun (!) for the Music. |
| McDisk: |
What is your opinion about modem-traders and sysops? (I know that there are no boards of Dreamdealers around, so give us your opinion...) |
| Sun: |
Modem is great when it doesn't mean High Speed Piracy. For a team who has members in other country that's great, it is impossible to lose your data by this way, I won't say the same for the letters (You do understand why Andreas!) |
| McDisk: |
Now to your country... France! Tell us something about your hometown, about the weather and such crap, please. And of course about the damned good cooks and about Paris - the town of art! |
| Sun: |
Ok, Hometown: not bad, Weather: bad, Cook: it's ok for me... Paris? Not nice at all! Too many people in! |
| McDisk: |
To another fact. Back to history and back to the roots of France and Germany... Perhaps you know that both countries were during lots of centuries the biggest enemies! Remember the first and the second worldwar and the time before - Germany and France were fighting all the time against each other! A few dudes said something about an ARCH-ENEMIE! Is this also your opinion or are you hoping (like me) that this time of 'enemity' is over now? |
| Sun: |
Where the hell did you find out those Questions? Haha! I don't care about the past, Only the Present & future time does count! |
| McDisk: |
Do you think that the scene is only just for fun or it is more or less real business for you? |
| Sun: |
For me it is just for fun! And for fame too, fame is fun! But fun before fame after... Do you follow me?!? |
| McDisk: |
Your opinion about cigarettes, alcohol and drugs? Would it be correct to legalize drugs? |
| Sun: |
All of that are SHITS! Except alcohol for our future Drink Charts! Hehehe! |
| McDisk: |
What are the future-plans of Dreamdealers? Winning all the time the first price on a french copy-party (as usual) or perhaps things like a chart? |
| Sun: |
OoWw we don't win that often! I think that those in the 2nd price won't be happy after that interview, hahaha (joke!)... We are doing a Charts called the DRINK-CHARTS it's meant to be 100% delirium, just look in the Drinktro to know how to vote! And to know the meaning of this name (If you haven't figured it out yet, you are surely an outter space alien!). And we are Organizing a party at Montpellier (france) this summer with DEVILS & EOC (details later). |
| McDisk: |
I heard something about a co-op with ALLIANCE DESIGN and a charts called Drink Charts. Was the coop only arranged for the charts or will there be a real cooperation between both teams in the future? |
| Sun: |
There is a cooperation for the Drink Charts between Alliance Design / Dreamdealers. But Alliance Design are about to show their last production after that they will join us (Zebig, Pict, 7th Eye). Corto Stopped activites until God gave him a new job and other Alliance Design formed some new french division of a Stanger Group, that's all! |
| McDisk: |
List a few of your favourites in things of music (REAL music...) We want to know which music-band you prefer and things like that! |
| Sun: |
Well, well... I do not listen to music often, anyway. Those I like are: Vangelis, J.M.J, Kraft Werk (Haha). All those Synthetics tune and for the voices sections Sandra, Simply Red, Depeche Mode, nearly all music which doesn't sound like RAP! (I'm not narrow minded as you see.) |
| McDisk: |
Haha... Now the final question from the good old Control... Yes, you are a quite good musician but are you also able to SING like Elvis, hehehe? (Are you a REAL musician or not, harhar?) |
| Sun: |
For the final, YES! (Believe it or not!), I won't be a real musician until I own a Synth. |
| McDisk: |
Yes, finally you have reached the end of this hard questions! You are now able to greet your best friends and there is also some space for a few messages!!! Use your chance pal, hehe... |
| Sun: |
YOHAW! Shiny rays fly out to the Dreamdealers (hey of course)... Sorry others I've got too much Friends sniff, ouuiiin, ARgg...
