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 :)
