Interview with Patrick Haour, Chief of Music, Jamendo
1. How did you start making music, and since when have you been playing under the name Professor Kliq?
Well, that's a long story. My uncle and my grandfather are jazz musicians and both had some very nice keyboards (for the time, as this was the early 90's). I was absolutely amazed by the sounds I could make with just pressing a single button or a single key (or multiple keys, eventually). This amazement followed me every step of the way from then on out. I got my first keyboard at 10, started using ACID 1.0 on my Pentium II at the age of 12 back in '99. In 2000 I got a copy of ReBirth, and my brother bought a beat-up old Moog Rogue which he didn't understand so he just donated it to me. Between the Moog and ReBirth, that's what really pushed me off the deep end. I've gone under several different monikers, but I've been "Professor Kliq" for at least 4 years now.
