Wojciech Czeronko - Two question interview - for EFSPACM Festival

1) What sound makes you feel most connected - to another person, a place, or the world itself? 

The moments when I feel most connected are when I listen to my own music and create asemic texts. By "my own music," I mean music that I have composed myself. Of course, there are many artists whose work I admire, appreciate, and listen to regularly. But returning to my own compositions again and again allows me to hear them with fresh ears. Each listening reveals something new - something I could do better, differently, more simply, or with greater intensity the next time. It has become an important part of my creative process. 

2) Please send a photograph of anything you choose that you want to share (a person - it can be you, an object, landscape, instrument, abstract detail, your sourrounding) and tell us about the place/thing/person/picture. 

This photograph is very important to me. It shows (in a transformed way) the wooden posts emerging from Lake Łagowskie in Poland. This summer, my brother took me there. We hadn't been in close contact for quite a long time, so this spontaneous trip meant a great deal to me. We spent the whole day together: rowing a boat, walking around the lake, and enjoying a really good meal. It was a genuinely meaningful day, and I know I'll remember it with warmth. And the photograph itself? Perhaps it will become the cover of one of my future LPs...

Interview with Magic Bullet

Image
1) Who are you?   We are Magic Bullet. I am Mick Magic, he is Skit Zoyd. We are counterparts from parallel realities / twins who tell lies / something altogether much stranger. I know which one my money is on.  2) Can you describe your surroundings?   We live in a house that is just shy of 100 years old, big heavy wooden doors, picture rails and high ceilings. I have the second bedroom, at the front of the house, probably about 4½ metres square, as an office / music studio. There is no view this side, my wife has that luxury, working at the rear of the house, overlooking farmland, ponds and the Lancashire Fells. We live in the village of Knott End-On-Sea on the Fylde Coast in Lancashire, England. It has no bank or supermarket, the nearest of either being a half hour drive. And no through road, being bordered by the River Wyre to the west and the Irish Sea to the north, looking across Morecambe Bay to the Cumbrian Mountains. Stop smirking, I'll have you know one of them is...

Interview with Sze Tsang

1) Who are you? samarobryn, aka Sze Tsang :) I am a composer, musician, performer, academic researcher...also dog parent, succulent grower and FFXIV player.  2) Can you describe your surroundings? It's a lovely, clear Makuru day in Perth, Western Australia. Typical of this period, there is a distinct cold bite in the air. Sunlight is streaming through the windows. My dog, Nira, is asleep on the couch with a blanket.  3) Where would you like to go? To bed ;) It's one of those days...More seriously - if there is one place I could visit right now, it would be Antarctica. I've always been fascinated by that place. It's brutal, but also beautiful, and such an alien landscape. Amazing wildlife and geographical features.  4) What would you say are the main features of your creative process(s)? A lot of the time, I ask myself: how does something - a theme, a place, an idea - make me feel? Then I think about how I might express my feelings through sound.  The primary feature ...

Interview with Mike Fuchs

1) Who are you? Mike Fuchs/Yellow Salamand’r... and I’m still learning who I really am. 2) Can you describe your surroundings?   Small village rural. Generally peaceful. 3) Where would you like to go?   Wherever the path leads. The journey is most exciting part for me. 4) What would you say are the main features of your creative process(s)?   Simplicity. Obscurity. Insouciance. 5) What do you really want your audience to understand about you/your art?   I don’t wish to impart my vision on others. It’s so much more intriguing for an audience to create their own perspective. Keep ‘em guessing. 6) Does audience matter?   I create, because I have to. It’s my release. So essentially I do it for me, but clearly audience response... good or bad... is invigorating. Final answer... no/yes😉. 7) Why Resist?   Depends entirely on the circumstances. 8) Why do you do it?   I have to, for my sanity. 9) What drives you?   I just cannot ignore the desire  to...
