What does Kyd/Balle prod.  think  about
Odessey, Any new videoes  etc.  If  you
want  to  know  the  answers  of  these
questions then read this little  inter-
view made by Mud of Majic 12.
Since you all know Kyd/Balle I  skipped
the introduction questions.......
²
?: What are Kyd/Balle  Productions  ex-
   actly, and  how   many   members/em-
   ployees are involved ?
¹
!: Kyd/Balle Prod.  consist  of  Jesper 
   Kyd and Mikael Balle.
   
   It's a label under  Silents DK,  and 
   it  was  formed  because of economic 
   reasons. It was also  formed because 
   Mikael and I lived in the  same town 
   and  therefore  we  made  a  lot  of 
   things  together.  At  the  time  we 
   started calling us  Kyd/Balle  Prod. 
   we were the only  active  members in 
   Silents DK. We kind of made  our own
   division !!!    
   
   But things look a bit different now.  
   
²
?: Almost everytime Silents release any
   thing big like "Hardwired",  "Global 
   Trash", you see the label  Kyd/Balle 
   prod. Do you control  things in TSL. 
   Are you the leaders ?
¹
!: We are only about 3 or 4 active mem-
   bers in Copenhagen, and Mikael and I 
   have released most lately, and there
   fore you might say that the most ac-
   tive members run things  in  Silents 
   DK. But  we don't control people, we 
   just  make our  own productions with
   out  anybody controling  us ,but  we 
   take good advice from our friends.
²
?: You  have  released the CAT Computer 
   Club demo some  time  ago. Have  you 
   got  anything  to do with this firm, 
   or did they just ask you to do a de-
   mo for them. A former member of  BRS 
   wrote in Zine that  he  had  checked 
   out the firm and  he  had  found out 
   that they sold demoes  without  per-
   missions. Is  this something that an
   noys  you  in  any  way. What do you 
   think about PD Companies in general?
¹
!: We  have got nothing to do with this 
   firm, we just made a couple  of pro-
   ductions for them. We have  not read 
   that  article  in  Zine, but if it's 
   true  it  certainly  annoys  us.  PD 
   firms are also selling Sound of  Si-
   lents, Global  Trash  and Hardwired, 
   without paying  us  anything!!!  But 
   the  good side about it is that they 
   spread  our  productions  to  target 
   groups our swappers don't reach.    

²
?: Your  fabulous  Hardwired  demo  has 
   been a great success( still is).  E-
   ven though you "only"  ended  up  as 
   second  in the demo competition. Af-
   ter the party your demo jumped right 
   to  the 1st  place in  almost  every 
   chart, and a lot of  guys present at 
   the party  have  said  that this was 
   the best  demo,  and  some  say that 
   it's the best ever on Amiga. Howcome 
   you didn't win then. What's the rea-
   son for this ?
¹
!: We don't know !!!!!!!!!

²  
?: Are  you  disappointed about the re-
   sult  of the  competition ? What  do 
   you think about Odessey ?
¹
!: Ofcouse  we  were  a bit disapointed 
   after  the   competition, but  after 
   looking at the charts we all cheered 
   up.  

   The first time I saw the "slideshow" 
   Odessey I was  impressed. But  after 
   seeing  it  twice it becomes boring. 
   It's like  a  new  kind  of Budbrain 
   demo!! 

²
?: Hardwired was filled with new ideas, 
   which was never seen before. Who co-
   mes up with these ideas ?
¹
!: Well, the coders  came up  with  the 
   routines. Some of  them were  inspi-
   red by the  software of the  Silicon 
   Graphics Personal IRIS (computer).

²
?: Your Global Trash II video was a big 
   success  too. Rumours  say  that  it 
   will  be shown on MTV. Is this true. 
   Have you had contact  with MTV ? How 
   are the chances ?
¹
!: Yes we are in contact with  MTV  and 
   GBII has been showed 3  or  4  times 
   now.

   
²
?: Can  we  expect  to  see a new video 
   from you, and will we see a new mega
   party again ?
¹
!: Well, actually we just  made  a  new 
   demo for a danish record company cal
   led Soulpower. 
   
   It will be spread at  the  Hurricane 
   Party in Dk.  

   Mind you, we  have only made the vi-
   deo, we have nothing to do  with the 
   music.	

²
?: You have  lost a  lot  of members to 
   Anarchy. Is this a problem for you ?
   Is  this  why  you made Hardwired to
   gether with Crionics, or had the co-
   operation plans been made before ?
¹
!: A cooperation demo was bound  to  be 
   released, because  we  had worked to
   gether with Crionics for  quite some 
   time. We lost members to Anarchy af-
   ter we  had  planned  to make a demo 
   together with Crionics, so it did'nt 
   really  matter that much. "A Journey 
   Into The 25th Century" was  canceled 
   though, but some of the graphics was 
   used in HARDWIRED.
²
?: Well, I  haven't  got anything  else 
   to write, so now you  can  have  the 
   final word :
¹
!: We  read somewhere that Static was a 
   member of Melon Design.
³
   STAITC  HAS NEVER BEEN A  MEMBER  OF
   MELON DESIGN!!!
¹   
   He is a  member  of  Silents DK !!!!
