"for me making music is an urge, a anecessity, as
a form of expression it is simply something i must do. there are two
ways to approach art: to look at what is presented in a picture. the
other is to be interested in the creative process, the totality of the
art and how it is created. in music i try to present my ideas with all
available means; the creative process is very important to me. when i
create music i feel free, whereas my graphic work is usually restricted
to commissions," says richard miklos.
at the age of 15 he bought his first synthesizer and
recorded his first electro-pop tracks. when the rave scene began richard
miklos had to decide between graphic design and music. he opted for the
first because technical equipment was still very expensive in the 1980s.
things were different during the start of the techno era in the early
1990s: richard miklos bought a sampler and recorded one track after the
other, yet had no intention to present his work publicly. his collaboration
with fabrique records encouraged the artist to seriously reconsider his
passion for music.
in the meantime his speciality has become drumīn'bass. "i can't
do straight stuff because it bores. i tinker with my beats for a long
time. there are some people who can lay down a track every three days,
but i'm not like that. i'm too much of a perfectionist. i want the end
product to be exactly as i had imagined it. good things take time."
after releasing their energetic debut-release "one day" (which
containts a funky broken beat remix by elroy "spoonface"
powell) in august 2005 and the track "dazed pride" on "the fabrique album" in 2007 graphic designer and producer richard
miklos is working on the debut-album. |
