How important is the sound source for your recording? Are there any sound sources you’d rather to work with (sample, instruments…), or haven’t yet been able to?
Life is a constant sound source for us, the L.A. air traffic , the Santa Ana winds, the coyotes howling through the canyon were we record. I do think it would be great to get a chance to  work with a full orchestra one day . The gohsts of Stockhausen and Sun Ra.
Comment enclenchez vous la composition d’un titre ?
One of us has a spark, an idea , it could you know be something very esoteric and not musical at all . It then might evolve from there…most groups are fettered to finding a melody a hook or that sort  i think with us it’s really about atmosphere …thats not to say that the lyrics have little meaning or the rhythm even if the track doest feature drums isn’t important…rhythm and poetry help create an atmosphere that is hopefully somewhat angular and strangely cinematic without being to linear in a narrative sense. i don’t think we want paint the complete picture for the listener that what boring for everybody.
The track tells you it’s done … it’s like this you stand up, you walk away from the mixing desk go eat a sandwich mabey have a coffee or a drink…you come back , give it a listen , do a quick mix of it and really listen to it …is it trying to excite you, is it making you feel something , are you seeing images do something for you …you know are you into it? If you are it’s proably done.
Ideas are free flowing 24/7 we might start a track in july and come back to it with more ideas in oct. We are creating all the time, this is because we are thinking all the time about creating… now the collective act of recording and making a document of these ideas is difficult with everyone having different trajectories in there day to day affairs so again when we can we do together when we cannot we do apart.

You have to hear them to truly start to understand them, but yes it was conceived as a trilogy . Esoteric sure , however there is a linking lose narrative that connects them all. Can i explain that …um no but i will give three clues … (in a Carnac the Magnificent voice) the telling unrequited love across the cosmos , the many faces of evil and carl sagan. Hope that helps. Â
I’d like to think that all good art not just industrial and noise music forms are influenced by mystical doctrines, political edged-opinions, etc. I wouldn’t feel comfortable defining what if any spiritual POV that kind of art holds for it’s audience (talking about industrial music specifically). However i understand the appeal from a dystopian youth’s POV to be interested in such subject matter that is…cliched dark and dissonant without fully understanding the totally context of the art work and what it’s trying to define itself as.

Seeing how we have yet to play publicly i really don’t have to much to say on such matters. The simple first part would be ugh… some large videos projecting interesting and bizarre images/pieces of abstract motion like a Stan Brakhage work. Perhaps it might become a mash up of influences… perhaps we would enter the stage dressed in bed sheets like Gorge Clinton but of course we would have Darth Vader sheets and not Scooby-Doo… perhaps with all white Brechtian stage lights cascading around us , inspired by or mocking an old four piece from Northampton UK. I can say this on the subject of what it shouldn’t be , not four people standing around laptops … unless your band have earned it and is old school so this is just a matter of practicality. Honestly i don’t want see a group of laptop lit faces when i go to a live show unless that show is in your bedroom or your fucking Kraftwerk or TG or that type old school stuff those guys can do whatever they want and i’m sure it will always be better than anything that  most contemporary acts can come with.
Really I think that depends on who wants to start listening… all four albums and the ep that we have previously put out are great (all coming from difernt places really  some are collections finding old ideas new again and some are complete concept albums) but I myself am very proud of this new trilogy of albums so i would ask people to start with The Falcon and the Pod, and then move into the rest of the trilogy respectfully… Sounds that Gods Fear, Are you Attracted to Wounded Animals.
