Art questions October 2020

Q: How would you describe your music?

A: I want to make memorable art music. Haunting, dreamlike, powerful, touching.

Usually I do it with simple harmonies. Sometimes they are dissonant. Dissonance is not just one thing. You can play chords and harmonies with dissonance that is not obvious. You need other musical skills too. Otherwise it will turn into a cheap trick.

Q: What active bands are you listening to these days?

A: Triptykon, Drudkh.

Veterans from Norway: Thorns, Virus, Ulver, Arcturus, Manii and Helheim. Helheim's Rignir was one of the best recent albums. I've been waiting for the second Thorns album for years.

9 trillion bands is a massive problem and a lot of it's crap.

Dear new bands, make new music.
