What does PN-X-TG stand for?

Storm: It is the secret formular for success... no, in fact these are only our initials with an X in between.

Which country are you from?

Storm: We are both from Rosenheim/Germany, but I now live in Vienna, since 2005.

Can you describe, briefly, how the two of you work together on a musical project?

Storm: Alan normally is responsible for all the sounds. He creats them, and I do the arrangements. Of course both can bring in ideas to the other ones work, but this is how we mainly do it.
Alan: And Storm has to "sing in " the vocals...

This is your first release on Things to Come Records and the EBM style however you have been making music under other aliases and styles. Tell us about that.

Storm: I normaly do music as Stormtrooper, which ranges from 130 to 250bpm Hardcore. And I also have a second project running, called X-Tension, which I am doing with Thomas Nordmann. As X-Tension we are doing Hard- and Industrial-Techno.
Alan: Nothing relevant from my side.

What software do you use to make music?

Storm: Logic Audio on a PC, with tons of plug ins.
Alan: Logic Audio, only a few Plugins

What about hardware? Tell us about your interfaces, microphones and anything else.

Storm: in the late 90ies we used to have a hell lot of hardware like a Virus A, AN1x, Pulse and Stuff, but as software got better and faster,hardware got less and less. Most of the time I only use my Alesis Photon 25 . The Rest is only for the memory of the good old times.
Alan: Nothing but Software and a Sennheiser Mic.

What is your favorite song on Things to Come Records? (Other than your own new release.)

Storm: I think that would be "Sex Machine" by the Horrorist and "Running on the Wheel" by Acrosome.
Alan: Sex Machine, can't get it out of my head!!

Would you rather get into a fight with someone who you know is evil knowing you will win or spend a week in the Caribbean?

Storm: as I know that all beautiful women are evil I would take the week in the caribbean...
Alan: I would fight....

Drugs? Sex? Tell us.

Storm: Yeah, what do you have, and how much do you want for it?
Alan: No drugs except for alcohol.

Music. What is important about it?

Storm: the most important thing is that it touches me in some way. Either moves me, or relaxes me, or gets me on a trip. But Music, that I do not feel is simply unimportant to me.
Alan: I can't describe it....either i like it or not.
