Raphael Huber from Switzerland is behind SubConsciousMind or short SCM. In 1997, with no musical or technical experience and having no one to ask, he started to teach himself everything he needed to know by simply tweaking till it sounded like music. Since then he has performed live internationally, released two and a half albums and carefully developed his own edgy and characteristic style.

Q: Why do you make your music?
A: Do you know it when you have feeling inside you, but you don't know what to do with it? When something is bothering you deep inside and you don't know what it is? Or you are stuck in a certain emotional state and can't go on but you don't know why?
Well, I know this very well. And when this happens I write music which helps me. Music to support me with inner processes. Music that helps me to go deep inside me and solves my problems.

Q: What is important for you in your music?
A: My way is not to deliver perfect music, but music with rough edges and personality. I put most of my energy and precision into clever songwriting, fluent, subtle, meaningful arangements, original sounddesign, shiverfactor and exact expression of emotions. SCM music is rough but still subtle, intense but still unintrusive, emotional but still earth connected.

Q: To which genre does your music belong?
A: My style is probably best described as some kind of "psychedelic trance" or "psytrance". I'm really taking this literally and try to create a trance which has a psychedelic effect on the listener. I don't really care about the style though.
