CMU Daily - 17th November 2004
How did you start out making music for a living?
Made a demo in 2002 and pimped it around. Someone I sort of knew (he ran
a fanzine that reviewed us) started a label and asked us to be the first
signing.
What inspired your latest album?
I write songs individually and then arrange them into albums at a later
stage. Anything can inspire me to write a song- other music, literature,
films art, a snippet of overheard conversation etc etc
What process do you go through in creating an album?
I'm not quite sure what kind of answer you want for this but my opinion
of it is that if you have a "process" for something artistic
you are being far too mechanical.
Which artists influence your work?
No one consciously. Probably several hundred unconsciously.
What would you say to someone experiencing your music for the first
time?
I wouldn't say anything. Musicians love talking about themselves and their
music far too much. But bottom line someone either likes it or they don't,
we should shut up so people can listen to the music for themselves.
What are your ambitions for your latest album, and for the future?
It would be very nice if more copies of my album were sold in order for
the record label to at least break even. My only musical ambition is to
be able to keep making music I want to listen to.
