STORY :
=======

(English : (deutsche Version - siehe weiter unten))

Why did these talented young people create such an earth-shattering module?
A question that every average citizen will want to ask when hearing our WORK for the first time. Well... let me explain :

I still remember it like it was only yesterday...

...the IDEA came about while the INGENIOUS game "DYNABLASTER" was being played by D.J.OSSI (i.e. by me) and a certain HADES...
The accompanying music to this FASCINATING game infatuated us (SOUNDVORTEX and me, D.J.OSSI) in such a way that we could not refrain from humming and singing along. If there had been more space, we would have danced to it! Well, it didn’t come to more than just bopping along...
As we cheered and jubilated so happily and relaxed during the game, suddenly a "BULLI" slipped out of one of our mouths...
...yes, that was the BIRTH of "BULLY-QUEST" (to make it international and market-driven, we didn't call it "Bulli", but "Bully-Quest" ! We ask for your understanding because, in today’s consumer society, we also want to have a chance to end up in the CHARTS...thanks!)
We jumped up, fired up the tape recorder and immortalized the unspeakably beautifully sounding "Bulli" onto tape with the corresponding background. SoundVorteX didn't hesitate for a second and took on, without grumbling, the preparatory work (converting, trimming, etc. of the samples), while HADES and the lazy D.J. OSSI (ahem..me) continued playing "DYNABLASTER". Soon it was done and we both (SVX & DJ) composed "BULLY-QUEST" with calmness and patience! - It was hard work but, in order to leave YOU a melodious and meaningful message, no effort was spared and now the successful WORK is completed !

!! WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO ENJOY "BULLY-QUEST" FOR A LONG TIME !!

(deutsch : )

Warum kreierten diese begabten jungen Menschen wohl solch ein weltbewegendes Module? Eine Frage, die sich jeder Durchschnittsbürger fragen wird, wenn er unser WERK zum ersten Mal hört. Nun...lasst es euch erklären :

Ich erinnere mich noch genau, als wäre es erst gestern gewesen...
...die IDEE entstand während das GENIALE Spiel "DYNABLASTER" von D.J.OSSI (also von mir) und einem gewissen HADES gespielt wurde...
Die Begleitungs-Musik von diesem FASZINIERENDEM Spiel betörte uns (SOUNDVORTEX und mir, D.J.OSSI) derart, so dass wir es nicht unterlassen konnten, mitzusummen und mitzusingen. Wäre mehr Platz vorhanden gewesen, hätten wir garantiert dazu getanzt ! Nun, es blieb beim mitwippen...
Als wir so fröhlich und entspannt während des Spiels jauchzten und jubelierten, fiel plötzlich ein "BULLI" aus einem unserer Münder...
...ja ,das war die GEBURT von "BULLY-QUEST" (um es international und marktgerecht zu machen, nannten wir es nicht "Bulli" sondern "Bully-Quest" ! Wir bitten um Verständnis, denn auch wir wollen in dieser heutigen Konsumgesellschaft eine Chance haben und in den CHARTS landen...wir danken !)

BULLY-QUEST

BULLY-QUEST (1994) by D.J.OSSI (Özgür Sahin) & SoundVorteX (André C. Kalipke) incl. "Bully-text"

!! Welcome back to >BULLY< - text (Part II) !!

Wir sprangen auf, nahmen den Kassettenrekorder in Beschuss und liessen ein unsagbar schön klingendes "Bulli" auf Band verewigen mit dem dazugehörigem Hintergrund. SoundVorteX hat keine Sekunde gezögert und nahm, ohne zu murren, die Vorarbeiten (konvertieren, zurechtschneiden usw. der Samples) in die Hand, während HADES und der faule D.J.OSSI (ähem..ich) weiter "DYNABLASTER" spielten. Bald war es geschafft und wir beide (SVX & DJ) komponierten mit Ruhe und Geduld "BULLY-QUEST"! - Es war harte Arbeit aber um IHNEN eine wohlklingende und aussagekräftige Message zu hinterlassen, haben wir keine Mühen gescheut und das nun vollständig gelungene WERK fertiggestellt !

!! WIR HOFFEN,DASS SIE NOCH LANGE GEFALLEN AN "BULLY-QUEST" HABEN WERDEN !!

BULLY-QUEST (1994) by D.J.OSSI (Özgür Sahin) & SVX (André C. Kalipke) incl. "Bully-text" (Part II)

Yea we're over here speaking with spirits, what other podcast has that? that's what I thought.

S01E04: Interview with the Ghost who Haunts my Basement

Every single note of my music (-> Soundvortex and Modern Age) was played by myself.
I do not use parts, phrases, sequencings, beats, etc. done by other musicians.

You can find more of my compositions on our band page https://soundcloud.com/modern-age1992 .

All my music tracks are downloadable.

Music is the most important thing to me (both listening and composing).
I'm a lover of ...
- (substantial) instrumentals (like the music of Thomas Detert, Jeroen Tel or Gustaf "Lizardking" Grefberg) and 
- synthesizers - my favourite of all synths in this world (like moog, oberheim, etc.) : The "SID" (I like the clear sound of the 8580 the most).

So I have got a lot of music ...
- made on SID (musicians of "Maniacs Of Noise", "X-ample Architectures" and "Vibrants" deserve special mention)
- in formats like *.mod, *.xm, *.it, *.s3m
- on gramophone and vinyl records, CDs, audiocassettes

Born in 1973 in Berlin (west).
First steps on the piano in 1976.
First own 'band' (together with a school friend) in the early 1980s.
Synth band "Modern Age" since 1992 (until today).
Named as "Soundvortex" ("SVX") since 1993.

(To those who want to know : Yes, it's me at the piano (profile picture). ;) )

If you like to contact me please write to me here on SoundCloud.
I will answer as soon as possible.

...and please never forget :
"Substantial" music has no "expiry date".
It's all about the music - the language of the heart(s). Not about newer, 'higher, faster, further' or the technical possibilities... (of course, it's meant in a friendly way)  ;)
