Zitat: "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 specialty has become drum n'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."

graphic designer, dj and drum n' bass-producer richard miklos is currently
working on his debut-12" for fabrique due to be released in early 2004."
