1) Who are you? A father to a brilliant 4 yo and a music lover who happens to like working on his own music as well, 2) Can you describe your surroundings? I come from a foggy town in West Serbia close to the Bosnian border. It’s dull and uninspiring, but it somehow managed to inspire a few musicians who succeeded in becoming or forming well-known national and regional acts (Straight Mickey and the Boyz, Organizam, The Mothership Orchestra etc).. So I guess it was exactly this lack of things to do what got me going as well. 3) Where would you like to go? I would love to move to or at least visit San Francisco one day. For someone with asthma coastal California is a dream come true. 4) What would you say are the main features of your creative process(s)? I start by recording improvisations or sounds or by recording parts I come up with on piano/keys/bass and then use DAWs to organize them into tracks. Sometimes the whole process is structured, sometimes it’s improvised 5) What do you re...

1) Who are you? I think I am a composer. But I also do things like poetry. And by poetry I don't only mean writing (although notation is really helpful), but also sound poetry. So I'm not sure if poetry is about singing or not, but it's about sounds. Did I say poetry? I meant composition. Certainly, composition is about notation. 2) Can you describe your surroundings? Not too many people around me do stuff like I do. I mean there are such people even in the neighouring blocks of flats, there is a violinist, a dancer, and that guy making videos. But an important element of my creative surroundings is the internet, and our group is very important for my musical activities. 3) Where would you like to go? Holidays, seashore. Relax. A friend (also EFSPACM member) sent me a recording of sea vawes, really relaxing. Over an hour long. 4) What would you say are the main features of your creative process(s)? I think I don't have an algorithm that I use in all my projects. And I s...

1) Who are you? Linn Friberg, a TCK (third culture kid) based in Norrköping, Sweden. I am the curator/producer of two different compilation series on Kalamine Records (France) - INTENT and PARADIGM. Creating music since 2005 under different aliases, and contributing regularly to the projects run by Slavek Kwi (Artificial Memory Trace). I used to be many things through life, and the only consistent things about me were and are reinventing the self, undergoing deep personal transformation, developing further, and broadening the horizons. I speak Swedish, English, Icelandic, and Russian with various degrees of proficiency. Understanding also basic Norwegian (bokmål), and planning to study Greek and Chinese later on. 2) Can you describe your surroundings? A tiny studio apartment in central Norrköping nearby the river. The apartment contains my main habitat, music production studio, and hydroponic garden. I grow my own vegetables, fruits, and microgreens using the Kratky method and inside a...

1) Who are you? We are Spaghetti Castle. Creative duo and partners in life. 2) Can you describe your surroundings? An apartment bedroom overlooking a retention pond full of sliders and softshells; in Gainesville, Florida (USA). From our window, we watch them swim and we want to believe. 3) Where would you like to go?  We'd like to live as expatriates in Mexico City, like Nancarrow. 4) What would you say are the main features of your creative process(s)? Catharsis, obfuscation, onanism, improvisation, medicine.   5) What do you really want your audience to understand about you/your art? We'd like them to understand that this project is no more, nor any less, than an attempt at abreaction and exorcism...art therapy. 6) Does audience matter? So much of our output is collaborative in some way; if not always, strictly speaking, a duet. There always seems to be an audience of at least one, and they're always vital to the moment.   7) Why Resist? Because it's personal. Because...
