Hi Guy´s
WOW . You all blew me away with these nice stories.
I ran a search on google and found this forum.
First I thought - hmmmm I shouldnt reply, but hell ya I should.
Let me make it all very clear - Im not shy/gone but very alive .. hehe.
Im still producing and I write music for others as well.
Today I own a Music & VideoProduction Company located here in DK.
We do music video´s, scoring for movies and videogames etc.
Psyone was for me a big pleasure, but unfortunately it ended because
of Hypnotic´s (USA) bad policy - and their lost engagement to break an act.
I know a couple of us on the scene back then, that never got the chance
to adapt to new styles along with the changing sounds and genres.
I saw my new tracks going out on comps. despite the fact, that the follow up
to Optimystique called "Organique) was ready for release as the 2nd. album.
So we went both our ways, Hypnotic and I. I lost my faith in breaking that act,
because doing that myself would cause a bunch of insane work.
But in 2001 I was contacted by a Manager from USA that wanted my sound
on an upcoming record so I began working on a project that turned into
3½ year of hard work and alot of travelling - The things was going very slow and the first product was an EP they handed out as freebee´s @ E3 tradeshow in LA.
Well as it turned more into Alternative/Metal I knew that an album from D:N
maybe wouldn´t hit the shelves - and it would be to oldschool for release today.
My punchline is this : If you can´t see opportunities you will not win, and
that has been the overall sprit for those partners since 1995.
Today I have alot of new things going on - just to mention a few of them:
A pop album coming out this summer with a very exiting new artist. The
music is blended with spice´s from Folk, Country, and rock - its awesome.
Another thing Im on right now is a fullblown NUSKOOL soundtrack ready for
release this summer as well. Im sorry I can´t give any names yet, but as
soon as its ready for release - You´ll find them here or maybe on a new site.
And another one .. hehe .. Im building up another US project together with some
other guys in California. We´re writing these days so productions wount be out
untill somewhat late this year. But this was just to mention some of the new goals.
There have been posts about some of the sites where my material is to find.
Those songs are old ones, that didnt make it on Optimystique - so basicly I haven´t used or neither written new Psygone material since the 90´s.
But You´ll never know what happens in the future. The last track I wrote to D:N
was a fullblown Full-on track kinda Psygone meets Astrix/FREq styla.
So the Psygone spirit is still very much alive, the question is are the buyers :-)
You guys have thrown some INSANE respects for me here and thats a KICKASS feeling to me - especially when I thought it was all long forgotten and dusty.
So thanx a bunch - Im still alive - and will never stop composing ;-)
Have A nice weekend all of ya - All the best Michael "aka" PSYGONE
