About Me
BIOGRAPHY
The history of V.e.N. reaches many similar styles of music, to stay finally in the most mysterious and dark kind of it, and concretely in electro-industrial. Writing down his own feeling and experiences into sounds of every sample, V.e.N.’s music gets intimate shape, it’s individual and specific, characteristic only for him.
The musical activity of V.e.N. drews inspiration from such bands like Depeche Mode, or from famous for some time - hungarian band - Bonanza Banzai.
The first project of V.e.N. named AntareS was created with his school friends and can be dated for year 1996. Already then, V.e.N. became the most important pillar in the band, making music, in which we can very easily notice the influence of Bonanza Banzai. Not without reason, V.e.N. together with his bands’ friends were a big fans of Depeche Mode, from which Bonanza Banzai took the example too. The boys were creating in Szécsény, it’s the city where they also joined the school at that time. In their musical career AntareS gave even few local concerts. What is the most interesting, all the instruments that boys used, were not their. Both, ROLAND JP-8000 and ROLAND JX-10 were rented from a musical school. AntareS made four synth-pop songs named: ’Sötét város’ (’Dark City’), ’7. Ajtó’ (’7th door’), ’Szerelem volt’ (’This Was a Love’), ’Másik Világ’ (’Another World’). I was able to listen to those all four songs and i have to say, that one year of their activity is much too short, seeing especially musical potential of V.e.N., that we can observe already then.
Together with V.e.N.’s gothic fascinations, his music also went in another direction than before. That’s why in the year 2004 he starts to create under new name, and his music takes the shape of gothic/neo folk. This time it’s one-person project and it’s completely instrumental. Venatur (latin: Hunter), because this is at that time the artistic name of - recently – V.e.N., can praise himself with one cd, on which we can find 17 songs! The title of the album is called Ames Perdues (Lost Souls) and it contains the songs:
1. Birth
2. Raindance
3. Gothic Magic*
4. Moon
5. Celebrate
6. Dance of the Fairy’s*
7. Scotland*
8. Lorelei*
9. Scotland II*
10. Angel
11. Veritas
12. Rite of Blood
13. Redemption
14. War of the Daemons
15. Kiss from Anubis
16. Death
17. Bonus Track ( Vampire)

You can also find this profile on Myspace, under the name: Face. Here is the address: www.myspace.com/faceofsin.
At that time the music is created on V.e.N.’s first own synthesizer: YAMAHA DGX-300.
V.e.N. lets off a bit of his talent creating a soundtrack for his friend László Bokros, who used it in a short movie that he made. The movie tells the story about one of the districts of Budapest. Those two songs, that became perfect background music have the titles: ’Les Misérables’ and ’Relation (short version)’. In my humble opinion I truerly think, that V.e.N. really has a big potential if we talk about film music, if only somebody could give him another chance...
This time in V.e.N.’s life, favours for changes, that’s why upon his removal to Budapest, his adored style of the music turns into electro-industrial, to stay there definitely. V.e.N. leaves his gothic roots and dives into bottomless world of electronic music, which gives his countless opportunities of creating and also in getting to know the new knowledge from its range. Becoming a big fan of music of Johan Van Roy or Andy LaPleagua, he starts to realize, that his sphere of interests stays there and this is the kind of music in which he wants to create too.
Together with year 2006, we can observe the birth of V.e.N.’s final face, the project’s shortcut at first meant Virtual Explorer Of Noise, but since last few months, as I joined the project, the name changed from Explorer, to Explorers. As he writes, in this project we can find everything, what was so far silently sleeping in him. V.e.N. derives as much as it’s possible in this style of music, fulfilling himself in it. Just to find and be able to pass his emotions and feelings into the music, that he creates. V.e.N. becomes the owner of: ALESIS CONTROL PAD, NOVATION X-STATION 49 midi keyboard. From this moment, he is able to ’sculpt’ much more in the music, what we can notice very clearly. Recent music sounds more darkly and mysterious, it is predatory and can give fresh sensations. And I really experience that, everytime I listen to V.e.N.’s music. Those are the songs, that he has created so far:
1. Cracked Mirror
2. Electronic Relation
3. 9th Gate
4. Nothing Remains
5. Connecting ( Entering The System )
6. Visionary Fortress
7. Things
8. White Noise
9. Lonely Words
All those songs, those being in progress and those still not created are a part of forthcoming V.e.N.’s first album. The share in already existing songs had:
NÃniel : vocal: - 9th Gate
Simon M. (aka Servo.Hatred) :
lyrics: - 9th Gate
- Nothing Remains
- Visionary Fortress
vocal: - Nothing Remains
The cooperation with Servo.Hatred is like very specific exchange. Simon once became a technical support, when V.e.N. was giving his first and last so far concert. On the other hand, V.e.N. stands behind the gear everytime Servo.Hatred is having his show. The last from them, being also the first concert for V.e.N. was on 10th of November, 2007. Till now, V.e.N. was supporting Simon about seven times, as well as a support before such band like Combichrist.
More informations about Simon and Servo.Hatred you can very easily find under this Myspace address: www.myspace.com/servohatred .
The strong side of V.e.N. is also DJ’ing. He plays under the flag of hungarian alternative site: www.ld50.hu. The played style, that became his best is aggrotech.
In this year, the spiritual and technical help for V.e.N. is also trying to give my person. I truely want to offer him my best support, together we want to lead this project to well-deserved fame and success. Meanwhile I’m not wasting the time, and in every possible way I also want to become V.e.N.’s best psychical and physical support. I’m willing to take care of his promotion and also one day to stand behind the gear on the stage. I wish to be a real treasury of ideals, when the new songs and lyrics will come into being. So see you on the other side of the stage and we thank you all for the support, we really appreciate it!
