Interview #12
1.What pedal or instrument you take for a mission to Mars?
I would probably take my drums with me. A guitar would certainly be more comfortable.
But I'm mainly a drummer. That is what I would miss most.
2.What album you take for a neverending moon travel?
Just one? This is difficult. I would like to put together a compilation. Or take your primary sound compilations with you. There is so much good music on it.
But ok, if it really can only be one album: I would take Jeniferever's "Choose a Bright Morning" with me. That was my first post rock album. That's how I came into contact with this genre. I love the atmosphere of the record.
3.What are your conditions, your habits or your inspiration when composing a new track?
It's totally different. Sometimes I jam on the guitar. Then a riff arises, around which I write a song. Sometimes I have a cool groove that I build on. Sometimes I'm inspired by the music I'm listening to right now. My last album is a good example of this:
"With Hopes So High" is inspired by Pink Floyd's "High Hopes", "We Will Oppose You" is based on Tool.
With "Lullaby" and "Farewell" I had this lovely melody on the guitar first. And "Anxiety Overload" is very drum-oriented. First I had a couple of grooves that the song builds on.
4.Do you have any information to give us concerning a new album or a new track?
Yes, I'm currently working on a new At The Grove album. 4 songs are already finished. I think it will sound a bit different than my last album. But let yourself be surprised. In the meantime I have released two songs as singles. "A Tale of the North Sea" and "Hope" which I like not only because you did great artwork for both. Thank you again for that.
5.Which artist would you like to work with? (musician, illustrator, movie director or composer)
Oh, I don't have dreams like that. I already work with so many different and great musicians on a regular basis and I really enjoy making drum recordings for them. Above all, however, I like the personal contact that has developed with some of them over time. So I'm very satisfied musically. Then I'd rather look over the shoulder of a top producer. I mix and master my own music myself. I could still learn a lot there.
6.For which film would you have liked to make a sound track?
Oh dear, me and films ... I actually hardly watch anything. I don't like it that much because it's too unproductive for me. I actually prefer to use my free time to make music.
And besides, I don't do film music either. Although a couple of At The Grove songs might work in film. "Lockdown" comes to mind. Or "While Sleeping" from the first album "Inner Turmoil". But those are exactly the two songs that are totally different from the rest, haha.
