Interview #22: MARLA VAN HORN

  Links Insta Linktree Bandcamp Spotify Interview #22 1.What pedal or instrument you take for a mission to Mars? The most important and valuable instrument for me, that I love to create with, is my voice. I would like to take a guitar as well. 2.What album you take for a neverending moon travel? That is a hard question, I believe that everyday the answer can be different anyway there is so many of brilliant releases that not only one deserves to be taken on this cosmic adventure. 3.What are your conditions, your habits or your inspiration when composing a new track? Usually I am composing the music spontaneously, going with the flow. In last time I am using more and more of my voice, I really love the improvisation so especially in singing I am creating by improvsation, this is very inspiring for me.  4.Do you have any information to give us concerning a new album or a new track? Yes, actually I am working on the new album, it will be minimalistic but still dark, melancholic w...

Interview #21: RAUSTE

  Links Insta Linktree Bandcamp Interview #21 1.What pedal or instrument you take for a mission to Mars?   Will I be able to come back? Then a sampler or a recorder would be enough. In order to catch everything I can hear inside the spacecraft.  2.What album you take for a neverending moon travel? Daydream nation by Sonic Youth. I really think I would need them. 3.What are your conditions, your habits or your inspiration when composing a new track? Don't really know. Is often late evening when finally I've got time for me. I generally start by improvising. It always start with some intentions but it generally end up with something different.  I would like to say that everything that come out is intentional but is actually far from that. I'm not a composer in that sense. It happened to do a whole track just by looking to a video with no sound. Image and sound are really correlated to me. I like to consider the process of composing as a synesthetic experience. 4.D...

Interview #20: BENTHIC NASH

  Links Insta Bandcamp 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...

Interview #19: LA RUPTURA DEL PLANETA SOLOTARIO

  Links  Insta Linktree Interview # 19 1 - What pedal or instrument you take for a mission to Mars?   That's a really thought provoking question hahaha I think I would look for something that could simplify a bit the elements I usually use in a song.  As I'm currently only working with plugins, I would take with me my guitar, a notebook, an audio interface, headphones and from vst's I would load some elements from soundtoys 5 and cory wong's archetype. 2 - What album you take for a neverending moon travel? How difficult! i would like to take several hahahaha but if i have to choose only one, i would take with me goldmund's "sometimes" album ❤️   3 - What are your conditions, your habits or your inspiration when composing a new track? This is a question I always have a hard time answering because it depends on many factors; my favorite place at the moment to work is my room, I have peace there and everything I need to compose.  Inspiration always comes ...

Interview #18: ATONALITA

  Links Insta Linktree Bandcamp Interview #18 1) What pedal or instrument you take for a mission to Mars?   It is very interesting question because I'm always thinking about planets, galaxies and generally astronomy issues. For such kind of mission I need just my violin! Because I have started playing music with violin and I can go every where with that! I was a classical violinist and I had  lots of enjoyable memories in different philharmonic and symphonic orchestras, but classical music was not the voice of my soul. I love post-rock music so,  I decided to change my music path into what I think fits better to my interests. I learned to play different instruments of this genre and I owe violin in this regard! It helped me a lot. So, having violin is enough for me to go to the end of the infinite universe! What a paradoxical statement! Hahaha 2) What album you take for a neverending moon travel? Albums have different tracks. Some of these tracks could be better...

Interview #17: ISABEL DEL BOSCO

  Links    Insta Bandcamp Spotify Interview # 17 1.What pedal or instrument you take for a mission to Mars? We would typically choose a vintage tape delay unit such as the Maestro Echoplex which matches our project's aesthetic, but for an "out of space" experience, we would go for a Hologram Electronics Microcosm.   2.What album you take for a neverending moon travel? Have several in mind, but we would probably take Satoshi Ashikawa -“Still Way”. 3.What are your conditions, your habits or your inspiration when composing a new track? Silence is a crucial element, including the wide range of sounds in nature itself. We ask ourselves the following question: "How can we embellish the silence which it's already beautiful by itself?". We also find inspiration in certain books and movies. 4.Do you have any information to give us concerning a new album or a new track? We are developing a new album, it’s still in process, we conceive it as the sequel of “La Clairière...

Interview #16: KIDSAWCAT

  Links   Insta Campsite Bandcamp Interview #16 1.    What pedal or instrument do you take for a mission to Mars? Just thinking, maybe we should restrain ourselves from ruining another planet... Anyway, I’d take my guitar of course, a Reverend double agent. It fits my needs and does the trick. Plus, I love to watch it, electric guitars are definitely the most beautiful instruments around, lol. Let me pack the Earthquaker Devices Avalanche Run Reverb&Delay as well. It’s been with me all along. It’s both an experimental device and does classic stuff too. 2.    What album do you take for a neverending moon travel? I love to listen through albums. It's a mindfull thing to do, taking the time to listen, to enjoy the artwork, the liner notes. I’d love to release a physical album in the future. ‘Lost in the dream’ from The War on Drugs is very dear to me. I’ve literally listened hundreds and hundreds of hours to this particular record. It’s a feel-good al...

Interview #15: THE DIMIDIUM AFFAIR

  Links    Insta Linktree Bandcamp Spotify Interview #15 1.What pedal or instrument you take for a mission to Mars? When it comes to the instrument, the question is simple. I would definitely take my Ibanez FR1620 Prestige. This guitar can be heard in all my songs. The instrument inspires me every time. For the pedals it looks more difficult I think a multieffect or a reverb pedal; everything sounds better with reverb. What, is there reverb on mars? 2.What album you take for a neverending moon travel? That's a super hard question. I often listen to different music. If I really had to choose just one album, I think it would be 'Roads to Judah by Deafheaven'. That album opened up a whole new world for me after the first listen. The album brings me down when I'm stressed, but also pushes me up when I'm down. Somehow you drift into another world when you get into it. Simply ingenious, definitely listen to it. 3.What are your conditions, your habits or your inspiration w...

Interview #14: NON SOMNIA

  Links    Insta Bandcamp Frozen Woods Records Bandcamp Spotify Interview # 14 1.What pedal or instrument you take for a mission to Mars?   On reflection, I don't think I could choose one. I would like to try all of them because on Mars the sound propagation is different than on earth, due to the different air density. But if I have to choose one it would be a piano, it's the instrument I have the most affinity with. 2.What album you take for a neverending moon travel? No doubt, Pink Floyd - The dark side of the moon. 3.What are your conditions, your habits or your inspiration when composing a new track? Well... This is a somewhat personal question. When I compose I never know how it will end. It usually starts with an idea in my head, a progression, some notes. I like to compare it to planting a tree. I plant the idea and build from there, not knowing how it will grow. I never force myself to finish anything if it doesn't come out the first time. I have a lot o...

Interview #13: LUMASTORA

  Links Insta Website Bandcamp Spotify Interview #13 1.What pedal or instrument you take for a mission to Mars? It's not just one pedal but a combination. It's the Chase Bliss Audio Mood and my JN-1 tape machine modified by my good friend Nathaniel Gibson. Those two are a perfect pairing with the Hologram Microcosm. That combination is the essence of the Lumastora sound.  2.What album you take for a neverending moon travel? It would have to be the Jimmy Eat World album "Static Prevails".  That album has been such a huge part of my life and I can't imagine not having that album right by my side.  3.What are your conditions, your habits or your inspiration when composing a new track? I spend most mornings in the studio before I have to go to work. That's mainly when I will do my mixing of tracks and songs. The main day for creativity and recording is Sundays.  That's when I have the most time to sit down and get lost for a few hours in the studio. I usually ...
