The interview from Manuel Muradas from the radioprogram for electronic music Ultima Fronteira.

Manuel: Tell me about at the begining.

Rey:  I began making experiments in 1984 with electronic circuits. I made them myself buing electronic components like transistors, diodes etc. I puted together envelope generators, oscilators, filters and pre-amps. With those circuits i created my electronic instruments and keyboards. But thos instruments had many limitations. They were okay for sound effects but not good for arranging and composing music.
In 1986 i got my very first synthesizer. It was the Yamaha CS 30 L, an monophonic instrument but with a lot of oscillators envelopes and other important electronic circuits. It was great for creating music and good effects. Later I got a polyphonicsynths, the Roland Jupiter 4 because I needed an instrument for playing cords.Those compositions for many years ago was made with an old tape recorder and a four track tape recorder. I still have the recordings but they are in a very bad sound quality.


Manuel:  About your style?

Rey: My musical style have always been inspirated by artist like Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno, Mike Odlfield, Jean Michel Jarre y Giorgio Moroder who are musicians who created the source of the music of today like the house music, chill out, ambient and techno trance.
I used to make deep house and popmusic before, but now i have begun to make a mix between chill out, ambient and the more clasic electronic music.


Manuel: Tell the story about "Hidden Vibrations".

Rey: I used to make new interpretations of the music of Tangerine Dream, Mike Oldfield, Yanni, Giorgio Moroder, Space y Milkways para Hypnotic Records for tribute cd´s.  Hypnotic Records who needed some one who had aknowledge about teh clasic electronic music for theire proyects. I became one of the chsoen for that kind of jobs because they already knew me and they knewed  that i was good for that kind of music.
But I had in main releasing  my own compositions on an album but Hypnotic Records only wanted me to do new versions of the music of the known artists in the field of the clasic electronic music. Then in 1999 i released my first album, "Hidden Vibrations" on the label Tele Sound Recording. Ese cd es muy ambiental pero muy inspirado de la música electrónica de los años 1970-1983. Lo considero un cd muy experimental y fuera de lo común con una música muy mística, más bien música cósmica. "Hidden Vibrations" lleva los viejos estilos de la música synth mezclados con la música techno del año 1999.

Manuel: What about "Innovative Desert"?

Rey: After my album  "Hidden Vibrations" i decided to begin making house music and pop. Bim Bam Recordings y Hypnotic Records  signed some of my pop and house track, but they never got released anyway. I played "live with my house tracks. Then i realized that i was getting tired of making that style. Well, i noticed after a while that the new house music did not bring some new to the style, it was only the same repetitions and rythm without any changes at all.
It had to pass eight years before i released "Innovative Desert". I desided to leave behind me the house and pop music for a long time and began to get the ideas for some ambient and chill out mixed with the more clasical styles of the electronic music. The album, "Innovative Desert" has the same style like "Hidden Vibration", but more symphonic, melodic and with more rythmns.


Manuel: Tell me about your new proyects.

Rey: I´m now working of new material for my next album, "Deep Transfer". It will be in the same style like  "Innovative Desert" y "Hidden Vibrations".
