Interview #20
1.What pedal or instrument you take for a mission to Mars?
I’m primarily a guitar player so I would make sure I had my 70s Telecaster with me. However, since the question also asks about pedals I’m assuming you also get to bring a guitar to run through them. Amplification is probably also available or could be built into the mothership? In that case I’m going to have to go with the Meris LVX even though it hasn’t been released yet and I’ve yet to play through it (I have preordered it though!) It just seems like such a deep comprehensive pedal, it even has drives on it and lots of modulation besides the delays. I cannot wait. I hope it arrives in time for take off.
2.What album you take for a neverending moon travel?
Dies Irae by Devil Doll. Or anything by the Italian genius Mr Doctor. I highly recommend seeking out his music if you haven’t heard it. Completely underrated and a perfect lunar experience.
3.What are your conditions, your habits or your inspiration when composing a new track?
Lol. Honestly I just have to make music when I manage to carve out the free time. It’s not ideal but I am a working father and time is just a limited commodity. I also play guitar in an Iron Maiden tribute so it is a juggling act. Typically tho, I just try to play around until I find a pleasing base tone, or collection of settings that creates a blissful pad sound or something dark and sinister, whatever strikes me as pleasing tone wise and then go from there. I work with loops usually so I might try to stack a few textures and then improvise on top of those. I like to record everything as one take/track. I might embellish with some field recording overdubs but not much usually.
4.Do you have any information to give us concerning a new album or a new track?
I have been just doing tracks as I have only recently acquired the ability to properly record myself. Hopefully with the year I can structure my life enough to work out an album length piece of work that I can make available on all major music platforms. That is my goal!
5.Which artist would you like to work with? (musician, illustrator, movie director or composer)
Wow, that’s a really hard question for me, as I would love to work with anyone really that shared an interest in the type of music I try to make. I love all types of music but I seem to always gravitate to somber, melancholy tones. I love strings and harmonies. There are so many examples of this mood in music and film that I can’t really even think of any specific example. Most of the time I don’t even know who it is that I’m hearing. I just go, oh that’s so amazing, i must remember to play something like that next time. So, yea I want to collaborate with that person 😂
6.For which film would you have liked to make a sound track?
So, this question is hard for me because any film that I think of, I think of because I really like the music that someone else did for that soundtrack lol! So I couldn’t possibly improve on that.
But I guess one film that I always think about, because the animation just resonates with me, is Fantastic Planet or La Planete Sauvage. I think that would be right up my alley for a soundtrack attempt. Really though, anything that was based mostly on imagery or visual texture would be an ideal match for me I think.
