Nijverdal, Netherlands (2001 – present)
Lennard van der Last (1984; Nijverdal/The Netherlands) shook hands with his computer just a little while after he was liberated from the kindergarten: at the wondrous age of 8 he started out using trackers to create his own electronic music. Before that joyful encounter he loved taking control of his brother’s keyboard; more than the piano lessons he perfunctorily attended to at that time. The piano lessons ended prematurely, but never dampened his enthusiasm to make music. At the age of 12 Lennard experimented with synthesizers and other musical gear. Old tapes from that era prove his remarkable talent for atmosphere and melody.
As time went by, Lennard made some likeminded friends in online communities, resulting in a contact with established electronic artist Proem, who recognized his skills, introduced him to the Merck label and asked him for a remix on the minidisc-label N5md (2001). And like it’s common in the electronica-scene, the internet played a leading role offering the possibilities of getting and smoothly staying in contact with labels and other artists. This way, Lennard stayed in contact with Merck and two remixes for Machinedrum followed. These tracks induced the label to ask Lennard for a Secede full length album, now known as Bye Bye Gridlock Traffic (Merck 2003). Although still unnoticed in the Netherlands, Secede stole many hearts mainly in Japan and the USA. (Unfortunately his obscurity in his motherland is no surprise; staying unnoticed in the Netherlands as an electronic musician is as easy as it is for one to find a hair on Chewbacca.

Peerprins certainly sounds like Tryshasla Vol. II, especially because it uses the "Hospital Requiem" samples extensively. I have no problem with that.

I just noticed when i was visiting Secedes Homepage there was a track playing in the backround. Has that track been playing in the backround before? Reminds me of The Orb or KLF's album Chillout.

Well, it's a very personal statement. A new Secede album for me would be the most exciting thing that could happen in music...so I'm way more excited over this than a new BoC album. However, I think that a lot more people are waiting on a BoC album than Secede, so that would make it bigger in a more objective way.
