Why this name?
My job is in the ICT-industry. Compatible means something like "works well with". Besides he does hope his music will be Compatible to you TOO, the listener! So that makes a clear Compatibles2.
Do you play live?
Compatibles2 usually doesn't play live, but he used to do some gigs in the past. Maybe the future will change these things a lot due to public demand.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
A lot, it's obvious after all these years artistic freedom and general availablity of creatings is finally there! Now we should develop a way to have interactive live gigs for electronic artists, to perform in virtual worlds.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I will, but: Record Label still unsigned
