Useful reminder that even if all you can see is differences, you probably have a lot of commonalities with others:

So from the moment you met, did you know you wanted to work together and make music?

GB: No! We hated each other!

RH: We came from a very different background and, actually it’s a good question because later we figured out we have a lot of things in common. But on first sight we only saw the differences.

RH: To paint a totally cliche picture, I was at that time the kind of totally lost goth punk person. And Gerhard pretty much looked the same as he did now [...] nice white scarf and a very stable demeanor. Like the type of people I hated at school.

RH: Right after noticing that the other was there too, we ran up the auditorium to the exit and said: “What the fuck are you doing here?” And well the next thing you do is you decide you need to have some coffee to discuss that problem.

Ok, so that’s basically where everything stems from. You became friends through mutual hatred of each other, and how did that become music? Like were you making electronic music already?

RH: Yes.

And then they both went on to collaborate and create one of the most popular DAWs out there :)
