Constantin Gillies played the violin in his adolescence but soon left his music stand deserted when he became the bass player of a punk band. Later, he introduced himself to the piano and the acoustic guitar and started song writing for his own band. He became familiar with digital music production after buying his first sampler in 1991, which was initially intended to be an intermediate replacement for the drummer’s vacant position, but later turned out to be a key instrument for creating funky music arrangements and electronic sounds.
