I saw these questions at the back of an art book "illustration play" (which you
should buy really), so I thought i'd don my own answers about my music, like the
artist did (one of my favourites is included - Rob Ryan).
[1] How do you describe your work?
pretty schitzo. can be painfully sad and acoustic or quick and hard rock and roll.
or electro, or kinda dance, or just weird experimentals you won't hear.
[2] what inspires you to create?
mainly pain. hearing something good and inspiring, something i can "steal" from
someones mix. the instruments and mix are more important to me than what the voice
is singing, but i hate instrumentals though aha.
[3] what do you find the most playful and exciting in the process?
turning my drum machine on and setting the BPM to a crazy number. if i'm feeling
low i'll put a low number if i'm alright it'll be as high and fast as i can play.
[4] what makes you choose the current media and execution approach for you work?
anything that buzzes me..
[5] what other medias would you like to challenge yourself with?
comics (sketching characters now), art styled videos (currently doing), write a
book, maybe of poetry.
[6] who in the field catches your attention most recently?
hmm..the new kills album, as they were the people who inspired me to use drum
machines and make one guitar sound massive. the black kids, but only one song i
know, but i love the production of it.
[7] who would you like to collaborate with and why?
jason pierce of spiritualized, or cat power, they're a couple of my favourite
artists. production wise..maybe bernard butler or rick rubin and michel gondry
[8] what would you like to be if not an artist?
a poker champ. and if i could run, a footballer.
[9] please close your eyes and show the first image in your mind?
i'll give you a song instead ;]
